When first seeing this page I (and probably many other) first thought that it would help someone who had not been to a wiki going through the first steps of creating a new page. However it is more of a "welcome to this wiki and please write about this" kind of page ending in three lonesome sentences on how to create a new page. | When first seeing this page I (and probably many other) first thought that it would help someone who had not been to a wiki going through the first steps of creating a new page.

I would suggest rewriting this page into a general tutorial or introduction to the wiki instead of deleting it. While I have not yet done this myself though I have thought of it, I believe it could help the newer editors, specifically those with little or no prior experience from a wiki using the MediaWiki wiki software. | I would suggest rewriting this page into a general tutorial or introduction to the wiki instead of deleting it.

:Oh. I misunderstood your plans then. I was oriented to split maintenance and "use" (i.e. simply adding contents), so hints for choosing the category and writing the summary could go directly in [[Help:Your first article]]. I guess most people wouldn't be interested in the rest. Also, [[Help:Maintenance]] (which I happen to have just created before reading this) is supposed to talk more about this wiki than wiki in general. | :Oh. I misunderstood your plans then.
