Initialization from public domain

New page

== Internal links ==
To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already it is displayed in blue, if it does not, in red.
Selflinks to the current page are not transformed in URLs but displayed in bold.
(If you really want to link to the current page, use an anchor (see below), or <nowiki>[[#top|current page]]</nowiki> which always links to the top.)

The first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized, unless otherwise set by the admins, and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link will have a similar effect as typing a space, but is not recommended, since the underscore will also be shown in the text).

=== How to avoid auto-links ===
By default, when you write a URL as is, it will be transformed to an external link.

To avoid that effect, put the URL between <code><nowiki></code> tags as in:
<nowiki><nowiki>http://mediawiki.org</nowiki></nowiki>
