::I did look into :Editing's history, but it did not answer my question. :Editing is indeed a standard wiki page (see it linked to at the bottom of the screen every time you make an edit? Yeah, I thought so :-) ), and as such, it should have content on it. My feeling is that the entire contents of Help:Contents should be moved to Help:Editing, and Help:Content should be... well, maybe a stub of some sort. Look at Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents version] to see what it's supposed to be used for. I doubt we need to instruct our readers as to the non-editing related stuff explained on that WP page, as it's pretty basic, but we could write a few words, at least, explaining the use of the prefixes and how the wiki is organized (ha!). --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 23:53, 11 October 2008 (CEST)
