+** [[Where to start]]? You can expand on our [[:Category:Stub|stub articles]], or review [[Special:RecentChanges|recent edits]] to see where contributors are currently working!
-This page will be set-up to allow everyone from the Atari Forum (and the Atari scene in general) to help spread their knowledge around the world on their favourite subjects within the Atari ST/STE/TT/Mega/Mega STE and Falcon range.

-Post any comments about this Wiki inside the [https://www.atari-forum.com/viewforum.php?f=48&sid=de1912e476bb60aaaf4ec65f88b107e7 Atari Forum thread] which has been created for this purpose.

-Do '''not''' use 'txt spk' as not everyone who visits now (and in the future) can understand the English used in mobile text messaging.
-'''New util'''
-To create Wiki-format tables with ease, there's a new Excel-based util (Office users only) [https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12208 hidden in the forum here]. Enter your text in as many columns & rows as you need .. then click a button, select the worksheet and the program creates a text file which contains your data in neat Wiki-format ready to paste onto a page in here.  You can even copy & paste text from the Wiki pages into Excel and then back out again in Wiki-format to help tidy up the existing pages!
-The old VBScript based util is still in the Wiki area of the forum but it will only create '''empty''' tables.
