- or begin with some of the pages listed on Wanted Pages. For the time being, we focus on the English-based entries, so don't touch the Wylie entries, yet.

- Use the Sandbox page for any kinds of experiments with testing out the Mediawiki syntax.
- It is helpful if you add a summary to the changes (see Summary field above the Save Page button) so others know what changed.
