*To add superscripted text, put <nowiki><sup></sup></nowiki> around it. <nowiki><sup>example</sup></nowiki> shows <sup>example</sup>.
*To add subscripted text, put <nowiki><sub></sub></nowiki> around it. <nowiki><sub>example</sub></nowiki> shows <sub>example</sub>.
*When you add programming examples to a page, make sure you insert them in the proper alphabetical order.▼
:*Case-insensitive

This is totally code.
*Spelling and grammar count...PROOFREAD! Firefox has spell check built-in (tools → options → advanced tab → "Check my spelling as I type").▼
*Putting two spaces after a period (as is common practice) will only show up as one space when typing plain text. It basically wastes server space.
*If you change only a small portion of a page, check the "This is a minor edit" box so that people can filter out typo fixes when they search.▼
*If you have a question about something on a page, ask! Sometimes even we are wrong about coding, so if you think you see a problem or don't understand something, click the "discussion" tab at the top of the page and tell us about it.

==Guidelines (not rules)==
▲*Spelling and grammar count...PROOFREAD! Firefox has spell check built-in (tools → options → advanced tab → "Check my spelling as I type").
▲*When you add programming examples to a page, make sure you insert them in the proper alphabetical order.
▲*If you change only a small portion of a page (correcting spelling, adding punctuation, etc.), check the "This is a minor edit" box so that people can filter out typo fixes when they search.
*Try to make the most of each edit. Five minor edits to a page in a ten minute span crowds the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page.
*Try to add explanation in sentences to more complex examples. Write as if someone who has never heard of your language is reading.
