ComputerHelp FAQ
From WIGITAL Computer Help
ComputerHelp is made available through the free distribution of MediaWiki software.
To help people learn about MediaWiki, how to edit MediaWiki and make changes to this website, we have created a brief MediaWiki FAQ. We log our Administrative changes here as well as link to external articles on how to use MediaWiki. We hope you find the information, guides, and FAQ's helpful.

Editing Text - how do I edit text?
Please use this list of helpful links to learn more about editing wiki text using the MediaWiki platform.
Also, before editing, please note you must log-in (create a user account prior to editing). This helps keep spam down and the quality content up.
Categorization - how do I place an article in a Category?
Categorization is approached in different ways across the Internet. It is very important however to Categorize when possible. Here is how Wikipedia and MediaWiki approach categories:
Manual - is there a manual for MediaWiki?
MediaWiki information (and the manual) can be browsed at mediawiki.org
ComputerHelp - how did you make ComputerHelp look and function this way?
