Yesterday I put a page up, and ran across a long list of the conventions (like three or four tildes and square brackets - but much more). Now I want to find it and print it out, because I have trouble finding it while editing but I cannot (keep on hitting the same things :-( ) . Can you give me a link? ¨¨¨¨
1. There's a wiki text editor on every page. It's just above the free text area.
Click on the "Help" item and it gives the short-hand for most of the basic formatting syntax.
2. For more formatting tips, right click here and open as a new tab. (message found above the text area on most forms)

Sometimes the title of a page at the top is unnecessary, redundant and a bit messy or untidy.
When we use the Infoboxes, (upper right box) they most often have the title of the page in the top spot and so the additional title along the top edge of the page isn't really necessary and the page might look better if that were not there.
To remove the title along the top, simply put __NOTITLE__ anywhere on the page (usually at the very bottom) and the title will go away. (note double underscore on either side of the magic word)
FYI, there are a number of "magic words" like this the wiki software has built-in and you can learn them pretty easily.
e.g.__NOTOC__ (no table of contents) will remove the table of contents from the page.
The story of Scientology needs to be told in the most honest and unbiased way possible. The great people who gave so much to forward Scientology are an integral part of that story, for without the people, there would be no story to tell.
The wiki gives us the ideal platform to document the stories. Why is that? Because it's the only Internet software that allows any number of contributors to collaborate on projects such as this.
Scientology touches every aspect of life and is a very big subject. A very big subject.
No one or two or even three people could possibly hope to do the job that needs to be done. That's where you come in.
No matter how great or small your contribution to this effort, it will be very much appreciated.
If all you did were to add a picture or write an anecdote to biographies here and there, it is exactly that type of group contribution that will add up to a tremendous volume of information.
Some will find it to be great fun to learn some new skills in editing a site like this. After all, what could be better than learning something new and contributing to a vital historical work at the same time?
Your help is welcome and we will do our best to give you all the support and encouragement we can. To be honest, there's a selfish side to all this - we expect to learn from your contributions as well.
You've probably noticed the red "BETA" notice in the upper left icon. There's a blog post about this you can read.
The website has grown nicely over the past few years in both content and technical development and it's easy to see the content of the site but what most people don't understand is there is a tremendous amount of untapped technical capabilities we have yet to utilize.
If it were a car that ran on both battery and regular engine power, we could say scientolipedia is running batteries only and sitting on the exposed frame with just the seats installed.
So not only are there volumes of needed content but also a significant amount of site software development too. If you go to the blog link you will find links to a number of other pages that explain various aspects of the site's potential and needed upgrades.
Please feel free to use this forum to ask questions and bring up topics regarding any of this.
