==Use the watchlist==
+
 
+
One of the brilliant wiki-features is the "watchlist". Every one of us is interested in different pages. To get an overview of what happens on pages you are interested in you click at "watch" in the tab-list. If you then click "my watchlist" in the command line at the beginning (where you find your name, your personal talk page etc.) you'll get a list of all the pages you have on your watchlist. You can click for a version-comparison and see what others have done with this page recently.
+
 
+
==Use the wiki to post questions==
+
 
+
If you have questions, do not send e-mails - use the wiki to communicate, since many of your questions will be of use to others.
+
 
+
==Wiki markup==
+
 
+
a few helpful hints:
+
 
+
* <nowiki>''italics''</nowiki> turns text into ''italics''
+
* <nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki> is the markup for bold '''bold'''
+
* <nowiki>==headline==</nowiki> creates a headline, <nowiki>===headline===</nowiki> creates a subordinate headline - the wiki will open a table of contents if you have more than two headlines on your page. If you want to see the table of contents somewhere elso on your page create it wit <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki>, if you do not want to see any table of contents on your page use the hidden commant <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>.
+
* <nowiki>[[link]]</nowiki> creates a page with a link like this one [[link]] if it is blue, the page does already exist, if red one has to create it). If you insert a | you can give that another reading like <nowiki>[[User:Olaf Simons/Tae Kwon Do|Uni Tae Kwon Do Kurs]]</nowiki> - that will appear as [[User:Olaf Simons/Tae Kwon Do|Uni Tae Kwon Do Kurs]]
+
* <nowiki>[http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/]</nowiki> creates a link to another webpage [http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/] a blank allows you to fill in text: <nowiki>[http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/ Website des Seminars für Anglistik und Amerikanistik der Uni Oldenburg]</nowiki> - will appear as [http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/ Website des Seminars für Anglistik und Amerikanistik der Uni Oldenburg]
