So... the main page is protected. I thought the point in having a Wiki was that anyone registered on 2draw could add to it. :s

I don't understand Wiki very much. Small Vocab= no understanding. I was gonna post something to get a better understanding, but I thought they might be upset. But since there is a post, can anyone explain exactly what Wiki is in lame mans terms?

Just what is Wiki? Read about it.

What do you want to change off the main page? I'm pretty sure anything you want to write up can be linked from 'Tutorials and Guides' or 'Articles' or 'Offtopic' which are not locked. I believe even wikipedia and others lock the main page as a general rule of thumb. Of course, you could always ask nicely to add something directly to the main page.

I want to put something under 'Offtopic'. I didn't think I could add it under 'Offtopic' because the section table is on the main page. :s
Is there another way for me to add something under 'Offtopic'?

No, as I stated above, I have read it, I just do not understand it. I have a small vocab, which is a slighly lame excuse, but I insist it is the truth. I am asking for you, or someone to put it in lame mans terms exactly what this "wiki" is. I'm sorry, i'm just curious.

From what I understand, wiki is simply a website that unlike other websites, not only the webmaster but visitors are also allowed to edit its content. There is no absolute rule in what to change or do, if you have a nice idea you can just add it. If you do something horribly wrong, it can be easily converted to a previous state because a history of all the changes are saved along with every edit. Learning how to use the editor must not be very difficult, it is very similar to any text editor. I hope that helps. >:)

I see what you're trying to do, and why it's not possible to actually do it. See, there actually isn't a page for Offtopic yet, so really that stuff is just 'Offtopic' because it just happens to be ordered that way on the front page. What I will do is make a new Offtopic page, so that when you click on the Offtopic heading it goes to another page that lists everything so you can then make a new page off of that. Crystal clear? Yeah, I think so too myself.

Yup, crystal clear. :) Thanks.
