Writers

New users

As you probably know by now, a wiki is a site that anyone can edit as long as they sign up. All you need is an internet browser!

If want to get involved with building Oh Internet!, you should start off by creating an account. Make sure to confirm your email address.

So now you've got an account. Try reading the Style Guide so you can better understand what we're looking for and how you can help.

Feel free to play in the Sandbox if you need to make some test edits.

If you need help with this wikicode business, try Markup.
