The full official documentation
The following link contains all info about the wikisyntax and how to use this wiki in general.
User´s Quick guide
To edit a MediaWiki page, click on the "Edit/Edit this page" link at one of its edges or at the headers. This will bring you to a page with a text box containing the wikitext. Here you can edit the text, see below for some of the special codes.
After adding to or changing the wikitext it is useful to press Preview. Now you see a rendered page, although that is not publicly available yet. Errors in formatting, links, tables, etc. are often much easier to discover from the rendered page than from the wikitext.
If you are not satisfied you can make more changes and preview the page again. Then write a short edit summary on the small field below the edit-box and when finished press "Save"! Depending on your system, pressing Enter while the edit box is not active (there is no typing cursor in it) may have the same effect as pressing Save.
More information is available in Help:Editing.
If you are using Mozilla or Firefox, and are looking for a little more comfort when editing content: have a look at the Wikipedia extension available at http://www.bananeweizen.de/ - it works for this Wiki as well.
Translation and writing in other languages
Please have a look at the Alternative Language page.
