#REDIRECT [[Fr/Aide:principaux éléments de navigation wiki]]
 
Three '''main navigation elements''' are available on every FlightGear wiki page (from top to bottom):
 
* The ''user links'' on the top right.  These are related to your account (if you have one)
* The ''page tabs'' on top of the content of the page.  These for example links to the discussion page and the revision history.
* The ''sidebar'' to the top left, links to various tools and links to other language versions of a page.
 
While there are two ways to view wiki pages, the ''desktop view'' and the ''mobile view'', we will go through the ''desktop'' view here as the mobile view hides many features for the sake of simplicity.  The features are described as seen with the default Vector skin.
 
==== User links ====
