Here you can digest how to use Wikipedia in bite-sized morsels. The tips listed below were created for the Tip of the day project, or the Styletips project, but are listed here by title and organized by subject area for your convenience.
Many users like to create user subpages to store various bits of information such as welcome templates or other information. For example, if you are drafting a new page that is not ready to "go live", or proposing major changes in redrafting an existing page, a user subpage may be very useful.
To create a subpage simply visit your User page and then append the name of the subpage in your browser's URL bar. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude would become http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude/MySubpageName. When you press the ↵ Enter key you will be prompted to create the new subpage.
If you no longer need a subpage, or wish to have it deleted, you can mark the page with {{db-owner}} or {{db|reason}}.
Noticeboards are for reporting problems that editors encounter while writing or while maintaining Wikipedia articles. Noticeboards are monitored by volunteer administrators and by experienced editors.
Noticeboards are best used for simple or urgent matters. Posting a message to a noticeboard can also be an appropriate early step in resolving disputes on Wikipedia.
If the issue is sensitive or confidential please use the Wikipedia private email system available to logged in users.
