This page will help you better understand how Coppermind works and how you can contribute.

 

 

The first thing you should do is '''create an account'''. The button to do this is in the top right corner, and it's very easy to do! Then visit the [[:Special:Preferences|Preferences]] link (top right corner) and make changes to your account settings if you'd like.

 

== The Number One Rule ==

You can visit (or create) your own user page by clicking your username in the top right corner. Use this to tell others about who you are and what you're working on, if you'd like. You can also use it as a sandbox to experiment with new articles or more extensive edits before you change the real thing.

 

 

== Other Resources ==

Namespaces are an advanced topic. If you'd like to know more about how Coppermind is organized and why some pages (like this one) say things like <code>Help:</code> before the page name, then take a look at [[:Help:Namespaces]].
