	~~==Step 1: Become a user==~~
	# ~~Create an account by~~ [[~~Special:UserLogin\|clicking here]].~~
	~~==Step 2: Learn how to edit==~~
	~~Wiki coding is relatively simple to learn and use, but it's not always so intuitive, and so it would be a good idea to first read some very brief help guides before adding content.~~

	== How to ~~Create a New Page ==~~
	* Unlike most websites whereby you create a new page and subsequently connect the new page to the main site via a link, in a wiki you first have to create the link and then the page. When you create the link, it will be to a blank page. Then when you click on this blank page, it will give you the option of adding content, so that it’s no longer blank.
	*Therefore, the first thing to do is decide where your halachik article would belong within our topical categories as displayed on the left sidebar.
	** For instance, “The Laws of Shema” would fall within the “Prayer” category.
	*Next, you need to create the link. To do this, click the edit tab towards the top of the page. From here you’ll see a large editable text box with all sorts of strange looking coding symbols. Find where you should add your link and surround the title with double brakets
	** For instance <nowiki>[[Laws of Shema]]</nowiki> = [[Laws of Shema]]
	* A red link means that it's an empty page, which you can then click on and add content

	~~== How to Add Content ==~~
	*To make a simple page, there are really only a few codes you should know
	~~# Subtopics have <font color=red><nowiki>==</nowiki></font> before and after <font color=red><nowiki>==</nowiki></font>~~
	~~# Bullet points use the asterisk sign <font color=red><nowiki>*</nowiki></font>~~
	~~# Numbers use the pound sign <font color=red><nowiki>#</nowiki></font>~~
	~~# References require two things:~~
	~~## Each individual reference needs <font color=red><nowiki><ref></nowiki></font> before and <font color=red><nowiki></ref></nowiki></font> afterwards~~
	~~## And, at the very bottom of the page, you must include: <font color=red><nowiki>==Notes== <references/> </nowiki></font>~~

	~~Here's an example:~~
	~~<blockquote>~~
	~~<tt>~~
	~~According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<font color=red>'''<ref>'''E. Miller, ''The Sun'', (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23-5.'''</ref>'''<br/></font>~~
	~~The Moon, however, is not so big.<font color=red>'''<ref>'''R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", ''Scientific American'', 46 (April 1978): 44-6.'''</ref>'''<br/></font>~~
	~~<br/>~~
	~~==Notes==~~
	~~<br/>~~
	~~<font color=red>'''<references/></font>~~
	~~</tt>~~
	~~</blockquote>~~

	~~===An Example Template===~~
	~~<pre>~~
	~~<!-- cut and paste the following template into a word file,~~
	~~replace any text with your desired text, leave all symbols-->~~

	~~Write a two sentence introduction-just replace this text with your introduction.~~

	~~<!--Use the next line of code if you want to insert an image, else erase -->~~
	~~[[File:name of image file.jpg\|thumb\|right\|''text you want below image'' ]]~~

	~~== Replace this text with First Section title ==~~
	~~# Replace with desired text <ref> Replace with desired reference</ref>~~
	~~# Replace with desired next point text<ref> Replace with desired reference</ref>~~
	~~# Replace with desired next point text<ref> Replace with desired reference</ref>~~

	~~== Next Section Title ==~~
	~~# text <ref>reference</ref>~~
	~~# next point text<ref> reference</ref>~~
	~~# next point text<ref> reference</ref>~~

	~~== Next Section Title ==~~
	~~# text <ref>reference</ref>~~
	~~# next point text<ref> reference</ref>~~
	~~# next point text<ref> reference</ref>~~

	~~<!--Do not erase the next two lines -->~~
	~~==Sources==~~
	~~<references/>”~~
	~~</pre>~~
