==Adding pages to categories==
To add an article to the Transmission category, put <nowiki>[[Category:Transmission]]</nowiki> at the bottom of the article. Then, it will automatically be listed on the [[:Category:Transmission|Transmission category page]]. You can also edit a category page like any other page. However, for now, the Transmission category page only contains the word "Transmission". The other parts ("Contributors to this page" and the listing of pages in the category, are added automatically. Here are a couple of external pages with more details on how categories work in wiki software.

==Turning basic questions into smart articles==
Just finished working on this new article here: [[Turning questions into articles]]. Feel free to add/edit. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 21:19, 7 July 2009 (MDT)

==Added new spamblocking solution==
I added a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha CAPTCHA] solution to the wiki today, which will require users to solve a very simple math problem before adding a url to a page. Hopefully this will cut down on the recent spambot attacks, but, if not, I can always tweak it further.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 12:55, 3 October 2011 (MDT)
