Welcome to the EUSwiki! Thank you for your interest in helping contribute! There are a lot of ways to tackle a wiki, so on this page we've tried to sum up all best practices used on the EUSwiki. Syntax can be confusing, but stick with it. Copying and pasting code from articles that you like is how a great wiki can be built, there's no shame in that.<br>
'''''Google is your friend''''', there are better guides out there for specific tips you may be looking for. But here we've grouped tools that are already installed and ready for use. Mediawiki is the format that wikipedias are built on, including that in your search will help.<br>

Generally the EUSwiki does not include the categories on the page themselves, as there's normally a disambiguation page; that is to say, we'd prefer people navigate to [[Policies]] instead of the category page. Thus, it is common practice to '''''hide the category'''''. This can be done by adding the power word <code><nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki></code> ''inside the category''. It will then be hidden from all the pages.
==<i class="fa fas fa-info-circle "></i> Infoboxes==
Infoboxes are the iconic boxes that can be seen on the top right of nearly every wikipedia page. To learn more about infoboxes, please go [[Infoboxes|here]].
== <i class="fa fas fa-object-group ungroup "></i> Tabs ==
Tabs is an extension that provides a handy way to create multiple tabs and tables. This is very useful for containing nested information, and can be manipulated depending on your understanding of the mechanism. <br>To learn more about Tabs, [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Tabs/Usage click here].
