| − | While working with wiki software is fairly simple, a few tricks will get you started. We've also created a few templates that can be copied and pasted into standard pages -- by filling in key information, you are well on your way to creating an author or book listing.

| − | == Templates ==
| |
| − | These templates were created to help get you started. The templates are just guidelines -- include as much information as you can to help us build the wiki. To copy and paste a template, click on the edit link at the top of the page to open it. Copy and paste the code in the edit box into the page you are trying to create.
