 * If you have a question that is not in the FAQ, feel free to participate in the FAQ discussion.

''Note: Some of the above links will take you to pages on Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki, a different wiki, which is the original location of MediaWiki reference manuals, and is still the best source of information about the software. It is planned to move information onto mediawiki.org in the future, see About this site.''
