Keep in mind the site will be under constant development. Wikis require a bit of learning to get started, but with a bit of dedication, you can take part by editing pages, adding categories, and so on here and on other wikis. We recommend you create an account <b>before</b> editing,  then you will only have to do this process once. We use a 'human verification process' to block spam.

== How do I create pages? ==
# Create a Wikipedia account and log into your account.
# Fill in the form with your text. Ensure you are able to cite all your text.
# Upload a profile image.
# Upload any additional media and format according to the guides. Add social media with a [http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/Main_Page MediaWiki Widget]
# Update as necessary


There are three ways to add pages. The first two involve forms, the third is standard wiki pages. Remember when adding pages, '''every page must have a unique name.'''
