i think the first part should have a link to adding the build wiki info. the pages should be linked against each other. & or transclusion at the bottom of this help article. (and a very minor note that the file stuff should be bundled into the fancy notes at the bottom.) =D  <3 u guys

Fancy Boxes

TODO: Describe fancy* boxes, and explain the most fool-proof way of using them. Use this format, exactly:

   Important

Now you can put lots of funky stuff in here, like html tags, etc, and not have a problem with the parameter getting passed as the first parameter.

Cool!

watching pages

we should have a section dedicated to explaining how to watch pages that an editor is knowledgeable about, and how to use the watch list to keep the pages clean, concise, and accurate. ie if i know about the web server stack i watch that, and pages related to that... (i think i might need to turn off watching pages i touch automatically...)

To watch, or unwatch a page: in the menu bar Actions > Watch or Actions > Unwatch

To display the watchlist: in the menu bar account > watchlist

To adjust watchlist settings: (this should probably have a better default setting guide or wiki section detailing better settings for default watchlist settings.... though i can see the virtue in what it is set at out of the box.)

Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist

rss codes should be also generated to easily track the watch list so everyone gets pinged when a change occurs. Threesixes (talk) 03:55, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

no bracket links: http://google.com (regardless that this service only offers https)
