[edit] General

[edit] May I edit pages without signing in?

Yes, you may (mainly because we are still glad if the users who hate signing in can nevertheless contribute), but you are highly discouraged to do so. Please, sign in before contributing if possible. Even if you use a username/nickname with no resemblance to your real name, this is still better than not signing in at all.

[edit] How do I edit the first page?

First page is protected to avoid spammers. However, you can still edit it (let's hope for stupid spammers). Type Template:Main Page after contextgarden.net/ and edit that template.

[edit] How do I sign when posting a comment?

• ~~~ will expand into [[User:Yourusername|Yournickname]], so basically your nickname will be shown
• ~~~~ will also add a timestamp next to your nickname

So you will usually write --~~~ or --~~~~

[edit] What are the other commands to edit this wiki?

The markup used in this wiki is a general MediaWiki markup and is described in the MediaWiki User Guide (esp. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing ).

Most of the following markup on this help page is specific for contextgarden. So, read on!

[edit] Pretty printing

• '''Bold text''' -- Bold text
• ''Italic text'' -- Italic text
• ---- draws a horizonal rule

[edit] In-line elements

<code>

For in-line markup of code, commands, parameters, etc. in the running text use <code> ... </code>.
