 Here are a few basic wiki-specific tags and concepts:
-# In a wiki, you don't need HTML. Instead, use the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Wiki markup equivalents]. Use ONLY Wiki markup when editing pages.
+# In a wiki, you don't need HTML. Instead, use the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Wiki markup equivalents]. Use ONLY Wiki markup when editing pages.
 # Want to link to another page? Take the name of the page (not the URL!) and put them in double square brackets, like so: '''<nowiki>[[Example]]</nowiki>'''. After saving the page, it will look like [[Example]]. This is called an internal link.
 # If you create a new page, make sure to add it to a category. To do so, first go to [[:category:categories]], from there, find the category that'd be best suited for your article. Then add the text '''<nowiki>[[Category:NameOfCategory]]</nowiki>''' to your page.
 # '''NEVER EVER''' empty a page. The information, no matter how outdated it may be, may still be useful to some people, so use a [[WikiStructure#Tags|tag]] to indicate that it's non-current info. If you believe that a page should be deleted instead of being archived, first consider make a redirect to relative pages. If you find an outdated article(we'll call it "A") which contents is almost the same as another maintained article(call it "B"), put '''<nowiki>#Redirect [[B]]</nowiki>''' in empty page A. If you can't find related page despite of your every effort, put '''<nowiki>{{delete|Your reason for wanting the page deleted}}</nowiki>''' to the top of the page, and save it. A sysop (a.k.a. Wiki admin) will then review your proposal to delete, and if accepted, will delete the page. The only exception to this rule, are pages that only contain spam. Throw it into our trash bin by putting '''<nowiki>#Redirect [[Trash Bin]]</nowiki>'''. After that, it will redirect to [[Trash Bin]] page without even showing the big catchy title of the spam page.
+# This wiki uses the Genshi code syntax highlighting plugin to make script and program code easier to read. [[Genshi_example|Here's an example page of highlighted code]]. For details on how use code highlighting by specifying which language your program code is in, see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight#Usage MediaWiki Syntax Highlighting Usage]

 The following templates should be used to tag pages that are not up to par.  This will help us keep a list of things needed to improve the wiki.  Don't worry too much about marking a page incorrectly, tagging these pages makes them show up under various Categories and wiki admins, or even users, will clear tags if they aren't appropriate.

 To tag a page, put the appropriate template in the article's body, just before the text that you want to tag. When saving the article, the template will automatically be translated into one of the boxes that you see below.
