Welcome!

Welcome to Wikibooks, Mervat (WMF)!

First steps tutorial

Wikibooks is for collaborative development of free textbooks.

You do not need technical skills to contribute. You can easily change most books. Please introduce yourself, and let us know what interests you.

If you already contribute at other Wikimedia projects, our Wikimedia Orientation should quickly get you started.

(Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

Getting help

• Read the Using Wikibooks book for a friendly introduction to the project, or our help pages for more information.
• You can get friendly help from the community in the user assistance room or our IRC channel.
• Upload freely licensed files to Wikimedia Commons. You may request permission to upload fair use files locally. Please include author and source {{information}} and a {{non-free use rationale}} for non-free files.

Made a mistake?

• You can restore a previously saved version.
• Pages should follow the Book Title/Chapter Title naming convention.
• Need to rename a page? Use the move tab (is available once your account is 4 days old - until then, ask for help).
• To request a page be deleted, add {{delete|your reason}} to the top of the page.
• Was a page you made deleted? Please read the deletion policy, and check the deletion log to find out why. Also check the RFD archives if applicable. You can request undeletion at WB:RFU, or ask the administrator who deleted the page.

Goodies, tips and tricks

• Please fill in the edit summary and preview your edits before saving.
• Sign your name on discussion pages by typing ~~~~
• User scripts can make many tasks easier. Look at the Gadgets tab of my preferences; check off the boxes for the scripts you want, and hit save!

Hi Mervat,

It it OK if you use Wikibooks:Reading room/General for circulars, rather than Wikibooks:Reading room?

It's the correct location for that sort of content, and also it gets automatically archived.
