Unlike Wikipedia, but like many MediaWiki sites, only registered users can edit pages on this wiki.

• MediaWiki – What is MediaWiki? — the software that makes this website's hamster wheel go 'round.

Please, bear in mind that every MediaWiki installation is different. Our wiki does not always "behave" exactly like the Wikipedia. (Even the Wikipedia Foundation's websites have some customization built into their websites.)
