WikiWiki means “fast” in Hawaiian.

A WikiName is a word composed of two or more words with each separate word beginning with an upper case character.

Always use the singular for a WikiName, otherwise multiple pages for one topic might be created.

By setting a bookmark on RecentChanges you can easily see what has been changed since your last visit.

CategoryCategory shows an overview of all available categories.

For your account name you should use a WikiName (FirstnameLastname).

Just type in URLs (http://www.example.net)—the wiki will convert them automatically to a link.

In your user preferences you can use regular expressions for subscribing pages; with “.*” you subscribe to all pages.

OrphanedPages shows pages that no other page links to by a WikiName.

Set the Language in your browser's preferences or in your moin user preferences to English to read the wiki menus and messages in English.

Setting Language in your user preferences to English will allow you to receive emails from the wiki in English.

The use of categories helps organize your information.

Use WikiNames instead of URLs when linking to a page within the wiki.

Use Underlay ausschließen on FindPage to exclude the wiki's help pages from the fulltext search.

WantedPages shows WikiNames where currently no page exists.

When writing your email address, use <<MailTo(Firstname DOT Lastname AT example DOT net)>> to avoid spam.

Wikis are cool—especially if you have read the help pages (see HelpContents).

With {{attachment:myfile.png}} you can create a link to an attachment (and use the link to upload the attachment).

With {{attachment:myfile.png|alias description|&do=get}} you can create a download link to an attachment.

With “@SIG@” you can sign a text.

With “Verweis hinzufügen” you can add the current page to your list of quick links.

With “Rechtschreibung prüfen” you can initiate a spell check.—Only add unknown words if you are absolutely sure that they are spelled correctly.

With “Kommentare” you can toggle on/off the view of comments on the current page.

With “Info” you can look at the revision history of the current page.

With “Abonnieren” you can be informed about changes on the current page via email.

You can avoid that a WikiName becomes a link if you place a ! in front of the word.

You can use other pages than the FrontPage as your personal start page, e.g. RecentChanges or your own homepage.

You may want to call Lesezeichen setzen on RecentChanges and come back later to read new changes. (For using that feature you have to be logged in!)
