Since I have recently discovered that the [[Soylent]] page is being linked to by Wikipedia, I have decided to once and for all bring this page out of the beta-stages to a fully usable site. You can proceed as usual, but you will notice increased activity on the recent changes page, and the layout might suddenly changed.<br><br>

Two nice style examples here:
We marched through a number of versions and apparently we suffer from at least one known MediaWiki bug.
*[[Hardcoded|Rewrite of Hardcoded page by Blade]] - this is pretty much the best you can do. Clean, structured, nothing missing...just great.
 
*Yet, when quoting already existing tutorials, [[Cameo|leave them in their original style]]. You may rewrite the page like Blade did, but as long as you're just quoting, leave the style and give credit in the header. If you are quoting a tutorial/article you wrote yourself, there is no need to leave credit information as the editors and authors of pages are saved in the encyclopedias database.<br>
Somebody who's not an administrator, please report on Matrix whether the CAPTCHA works as expected.

To add something new, go to http://www.renegadeprojects.com/index.php/XXXX, while XXXX is the name of the entry you want to add/see. Use an underscore ("_") for spaces. Then you can click on "edit" and write away.

*'''Please always fill the "Summary" field!''' Despite it's name, that field is not used for the search-function, but gives a summary of what was changed in this version compared to an earlier one. Good examples are "Added XY's tutorial" or "fixed some layout/spelling problems".
