=Wiki How-To's= toc This page will tell the wiki editors how to add and edit pages and widgets. For next years wiki editors, this will be your guide on how to do certain things on the wiki. If any of this stuff doesn't work then ask Mrs. Cantore or Mr. Wales. If they can do it then ask Mrs. Cantore to e-mail James Lu.

If you have any problems with the how-to guide or any problems with elements not working then please use the mail function and send mail to either James, Rosie Z., Bailey R., Gaby M., or Brenden S. or ask a question in the discussion board below.
