Wiki markup notes
Don't add until last minute:


 * categories
 * language links
 * translation template etc.

Useful places

 * Translation
 * Help desk - for any general questions, including where to find more specific help
 * New contributors' help page - as above for new editors
 * Cheatsheet - basic formatting summary
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia - more extensive index of topics
 * Citing sources - mechanics of footnotes and reference sections
 * Manual of Style and the various subpages listed on the right for how to lay out different article types
 * Featured articles - examples of how the ideal article looks!

In general if you want help on a topic - say, beans - a good first try is to go to beans (or equivalently WP:beans). But pretend I didn't show you that one! Olaf Davis (talk) 18:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Likewise e.g. Template:Citation needed for templates. Olaf Davis (talk) 18:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

A lot of these have shortcuts too - e.g. WP:CITE. Olaf Davis (talk) 18:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Chips are nice, but burgers are nasty. Cheese is even nicer!
