Getting started with Wikibooks

[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
• You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~
  • There is a box at the top of the edit window that will insert this, too; it looks like part of a signature.
• Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
• You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
  • You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
• If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks:Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
  • If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI (requests for importation) to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
• If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Wikibooks:Guidelines for class projects
• Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
  • Please take a look at Wikibooks:Naming policy before starting a new book.
• Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck!
