The site has, um, multiple facets and that doesn't seem to be its most conspicuous facet, but I think it's still there, and I try to write with that audience at least partly in mind.

Handy Hints
Here are a few examples of handy techniques. To make more sense of them, click on "edit" to see the code that produced these examples.
How to strike out text: Put bracket s bracket in front of the text, then bracket backslash s bracket at the end of the text.
How to add references/citations: Put bracket ref bracket, then the title of the reference, then squarebracket then the URL of the reference squarebracket, then bracket backslash ref bracket. [1] The title can be put after the URL also, but it looks nicer in the reference section when it is put before the URL. The title will not be seen with the text, it will only appear in the references section if there is one.
How to add a reference section at the end of an article: Put equals equals References equals equals to create the heading. Then on the next line put bracket references backslash bracket. Every page that includes citations should have a references section at the bottom.
