== The Number One Rule ==
The most important thing for you to hear: '''You can't mess anything up!'''
You can create additional subpages as well. Just append a backslash (<code>/</code>) to the URL of your user page, followed by the name for the subpage.
== Categories and Templates ==
Over the course of this guide you'll hear about '''categories''' and '''templates'''. We'll cover them towards the end, because a full explanation is on the more advanced side of what we'll talk about. But you'll see them come up here and there in the meantime. So let's talk basics.
;Categories
: Categories are tags we use to group and sort articles. You can find any article using the book/series categories listed on the Coppermind home page or using the content categories in the left sidebar. Categories are used to group articles this way. You can see what categories an article is in at the ''very bottom'' of a page. Some categories must be included manually, but many happen automatically thanks to templates.
;Templates
: Templates make more complicated and/or repetitive editing tricks easier to do. If you ever see something surrounded by double curly braces (<code>{{}}</code>), it's a template. The template begins with the name of the template, which is followed by a number of ''parameters''--some required, some optional. Parameters are separated by vertical lines (<code>|</code>).
