To experience editing a page on a wiki risk free, go play in the '''[[JFWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]''', which is a special page where it's perfectly acceptable to edit and change content for no reason except to play and learn. There is a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User's_Guide#For_editors user's guide to editing pages], but for those not into manuals, click the "Edit" link at the top of any page to look at the syntax of the text that goes into wiki formatting and learn the tricks as you go along. | To experience editing a page on a wiki risk free, go play in the '''[[JFWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]''', which is a special page where it's perfectly acceptable to edit and change content for no reason except to play and learn.

As long as you're still reading, have a look at the [[JFWiki:General_disclaimer|disclaimer]] and thoughts on [[JFwiki:Copyrights|copyright]]. There's also a [[JFWiki:FAQ|FAQ]] (sort of), and we also have a place dedicated to [[JFWiki:Chatter|idle, random, unfocused chatter]]. And keep in mind that every page on the wiki has a dedicated sub-page devoted to discussion (see the "Discussion" tab above? That's it!). | As long as you're still reading, have a look at the [[JFWiki:General_disclaimer|disclaimer]] and thoughts on [[JFwiki:Copyrights|copyright]].

A warning<!-- (with thanks to http://hrwiki.org HRWiki)-->: above all, never use obscene or otherwise defamatory language, and never deface the documents our community has worked hard to create. Also, note that a wiki gives everyone the ability to revert documents back to their original state. Therefore, no one can permanently harm the wiki by deleting pages. All an offender will accomplish is to slightly annoy our wiki community. After repeated defacings our administrators will permanently block the offender's IP address. If defamatory language is seen it will be changed or deleted, and it's possible the user may be blocked for using it. For additional thoughts on wiki etiquette, read about [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiquette wikiquette]. | A warning<!-- (with thanks to http://hrwiki.org HRWiki)-->: above all, never use obscene or otherwise defamatory language, and never deface the documents our community has worked hard to create.
