== Frequently Asked Questions ==
=== Registering ===
; How do I register/login?
: In the upper-right hand corner of the screen, select [[Special:Userlogin|Create a user or login]].
; Do I need to provide my real name?
: No, it is a matter of personal preference/privacy to provide your real name.
; Can I change it later?
: Yes, once you login, you can change your password, real name, and e-mail address.

=== Getting Started ===
; Ok, I've logged in<nowiki>:</nowiki> how do I make a new page?
: Type the name in the Goto box on the left-hand side of the screen; see [[Contributing|Contributing Guidelines]] for the syntax. As an example, if you want to add documentation for RAM address FFFF on the 83+, type the following in the Goto box:
<nowiki>83Plus:RAM:FFFF</nowiki>
:Make sure you read the [[Contributing|Contributing Guidelines]]!!!
;Do I need to denote hexadecimal with a $ or h, like in Z80 assembly?
:No, it is assumed in WikiTI that all numbers/addresses are hexidecimal by default.
;What are templates?
:Templates, are, as the name says, templates. :-) They provide a default structure for the various pages. If all the WikiTI users follow these templates, it'll make all B_CALL pages look consistent, all ports the same format, etc. Thus, it is encouraged to use these (see [[ Contributing#Templates|Templates]] for a list of templates).
; How do I use a template?
* Select a template
* View the source and copy it (the ''View source'' tab is near the top of the screen)
* Paste the source into your new page (that you just Goto'ed)
* Edit the text to fit your type of documentation
; What's the category text at the top of the templates for?
: That is how WikiTI categorizes the various pages. Following the previous example, you should have these lines at the top of your new page:
<nowiki>[Category:83Plus:RAM:By Address:FFFF - TheName]
[Category:83Plus:RAM:By Name|TheName]</nowiki>
:If you are curious as to how a page works, don't forget to view the source of it :-)

=== Editing ===
; How do I make bold/italicized text?
: See [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Character_formatting|Character Formatting]].
; How do I make lists?
: See [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Sections.2C_paragraphs.2C_lists_and_lines|Lists and Lines]].
; Argh! The tab doesn't work!
: In Wikipedia, you use a colon : to indent a paragraph.
; How do I put text in that blue border?
: Use <nowiki> preceded with a space. The leading space tells the Wiki parser to display the text as a preformatted, fixed-width font, which is analogous to <pre> in HTML. So " <nowiki>Your text here</nowiki>" will show:
<nowiki>Your text here</nowiki>
; How do I make links?
: That depends on the kind of link you want to make. See [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Links_and_URLs|Links and URLs]] for a more in-depth discussion.

;Why does my contribution not show up in the list?
:Most likely, you are viewing a cached version of WikiTI. Try clearing out your cache (browser-specific). Alternatively, you may wish to disable caching in your preferences. If you do have any issues that appear to be cache-related, please contact [[User:JasonM|JasonM]].
