The wiki is a helpful tool, more useful as more contributions it has. So please DO NOT HESITATE to make new pages, changes, modifications...

The wiki saves the pages before and after the changes, so don't be afraid to change things.

How to edit Wiki pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page

• To search. You can go through the pages or use the search box. When using the search box, be aware that it will not search for words with 3 characters or less, except if there is a page called only the word. I. e. you will not find URV, as there is page called "URV Seminars" but none called "URV", but you will find g09, as there is a page exactly called like that.

• To edit an existing page, just go to the edit menu at the top of the page, you will see that the text appears on the screen, with some extra-marks, as well as a toolbar. The extra-marks are the language that allows you to use tools such as,

bold = ''' whatever'''
italics = ''whatever'' 
link to a wiki page = [[whatever page]]
link to a web page = [http://www.whatever.com whatevertitle]
<nowiki></nowiki> means that what is inside is not wiki language
you can also add images or files, write equations...

You can use the language by directly typing it or by using the toolbar located at the top of the text.

• To make a new page, just go to an existing page and link an unexisting page (chose a name for the new page and type [[new_page_name]]. Then save it, just press on the link and start writing!!

• To make a Table look edit the following link: Table

• To add a subscript _subscript = _{subscript here}, superscript^{superscript here} = ^{superscript here}

• It is recommended to include the go back to [[Main Page]],[[previous linked page]],[[linked page]] line at the top of each page in order to facilitate the navigation.
