=== Major changes in the wiki help pages ===
During November and December many of the help pages have been moved around and extended, and a few new help pages have been created, [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Help:Tables&oldid=64764 Help:Tables] and [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Help:Glossary&oldid=65365 Help:Glossary].
These changes were made to improve the help mostly for entirely new users, but will probably also be helpful some of the regular editors as well.  The rewritten pages now also have links to more advanced help primarily at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki Wiki], the wiki of the developers of the the wiki software used by the FlightGear Wiki.
In summary, the following changes have been made:

The work is not complete yet though.  Most of all the ''translations'' of these pages needs to be moved and/or translated, and a couple of pages, [[Help:Categories]] and [[Help:Tutorial]], could still need a rewrite (though on a ''much'' smaller scale).
And finally, a ''style guide'' (as in a guide, not a manual) is something there is a growing need for.  Any suggestions and opinions are welcome at [[Help talk:Style guide]], as well as additions to [[Help:Style guide]], which is currently (very) incomplete.
