Help Pages
Before you can edit Issuepedia, you need to have an account. (I had to disable anonymous posting because of spam.) You can create one here, or log in here if you already have one.
- Help category
- Help:Feeds (RSS/Atom): getting update notifications from Issuepedia
- Help:Sandbox for testing and experimenting
- project:Contact: contact information for Issuepedia
- Help:Admin: help information for site administrators

- project:User Guide: things we encourage all users to do

<references /> - More complete instructions are on the MediaWiki reference site.
|
This page is in need of updating.
Need some basic wiki-editing instructions here.
|
Templates
didn't I already create a page or section about templates somewhere? -W.
Ways of displaying and formatting content:
- Template:Dbrk: show double brackets around first argument, like a wikipage link (but don't actually link) - [[like this]]
Various conditions under which the complete text of an external article might be posted in Issuepedia:
- Template:Authored: reprinted with Issuepedia-specific permission
- Template:Copyrt: reprinted without permission
- Template:Fiskreprint: reprinted without permission specifically for fisking (maybe this is redundant?)
- Template:Fisking-incomplete: use this when you've posted the article but haven't finished fisking yet
- Template:Licensed: reprinted under the terms of a specific license
News Sources
Places to find current news, especially items not generally covered by the mainstream press
Outdated
These articles should be rewritten, updated, or scrapped:
- Article Types: some of the main types of articles, and where to find examples
- Contributors: actual people who have contributed substantially to Issuepedia
