We are testing Magnus Manske's new [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml PHP wiki software]. Help software development: [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml?title=wikipedia%3ABugs report bugs] and [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml?title=wikipedia%3AFeature+requests request features]. |

Helpful new feature: After you log in and give your full name, you can later sign your contributions (which is encouraged in commentary, as opposed to the main Wikipedia) by typing three tildes (~ ~ ~) in a row. The software will replace them with your full logged-in name. |
