How to edit wiki pages on the compiz wiki

[amgeex]

Hello all, as a fellow poster wrote, editing wiki pages over at go-compiz.org is not as easy as one would think, because mediawiki pages use a special wiki syntax to format its contents. You must use this syntax and not regular HTML. Although HTML will work, I propose we edit pages with wiki syntax only, for sanity's sake.

So, searching about the internet, I stumbled upon this very nice guide that will help you edit the wiki pages. It's wikipedia's editing guide, as it also runs on mediawiki.

The URL's now display correctly. As for language templates, well, we don't have much content in other languages so we don't have a need for those right now. We might in the future though, so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your suggestion.
