Wiki Editing Tips

Important Tip: if you click Edit in the Wiki to open the WYSIWYG editor, it would be easy forget that you are in editing mode and you might keep it open for a long time... doing so will probably result in the loss of your changes, because your session will timeout during that time. Don't enter Edit mode until you are ready to make a change; enter Edit Mode, make your change, and save it right away.
