There's no need in recreating this. Go to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents#Introduction

[edit] Wiki Markup

There is also a good primer at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Wiki_markup

[edit] Gender specific terms

Please do not add content directly to gender specific terms such as Baron or Duchess if it can be avoided. Instead, add the content to the combined terms (i.e. Baron/Baroness or Duke/Duchess) and then add a REDIRECT to each of the singular terms.

[edit] Plural or Singular page titles

Please do not create new articles with plural names. For example it is prefered to create a page called scribe rather than "scribes." Do create Redirects for plural pages to their singular counterparts if necessary. When creating Categories, however, it is proper that they be plural as a category is always more than one item.

[edit] Acronyms

Please do NOT add content directly to an acronym. Instead, add the content to expantion and then REDIRECT the acronym to it.

[edit] Redirects

To create a redirect, use the following syntax on the first line of the document you wish to be redirected:</br> #REDIRECT [[ ... ]]
