-Welcome to WikiIndex! We hope you can contribute, no matter what your computer and language skills are. <!--Please consider adding a [[project:Babel]] template (if you have not already done so) to your user-page so that others know which languages you are comfortable reading.-->
-The site uses MediaWiki software, practically the same as [[Wikipedia]] and [[Wikicities]], so if you know them you'll know how to edit and get around.
+Welcome to [[WikiIndex]]! We hope you will contribute, no matter what your computer and language skills are. <!--Please consider adding a [[project:Babel]] template (if you have not already done so) to your user-page so that others know which languages you are comfortable reading.-->
-Do keep an eye on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], where all edits and their authors are listed. Anonymous edits may need checking in case they are spam or vandalism.
+For the basics on creating and editing articles on the WikiIndex, please see [[WikiIndex:Help]]. This site uses [[Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software, very similar to [[Wikipedia]] and [[Wikicities]]. If you are already familiar with those wikis, you will already know how to edit and get around.
-Discussion of any aspect of the site, and enquiries, can be made on the "discussion" page associated with each article/category/User page - or at [[Talk:Wiki_Index]] if it's a general matter not confined to a single page. Please sign and date your contributions there, so that readers know "who to talk to".
+Discussion or questions about a particular page can be made on the "discussion" page associated with that article/category/User page.  If it's a general matter not confined to a single page, see [[Talk:Wiki_Index]]. Please sign and date your contributions by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your message so that readers know "who to talk to".
+If you see the message "You have new messages." at the top of a page, it means that someone has left a message for you on your discussion page. If you edit a member's User discussion page, they will be the one seeing the same message.
+One way you can help is to keep an eye on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], where all recent edits and their authors are listed. Anonymous edits, especially, may need checking in case they are spam or vandalism.
+If you'd like to tell us a little about yourself, such as how you discovered this site or which wikis you are familiar with, you can add that information to your user page.
-If you edit a member's User Talk page, he or she will get a message saying there's a message there.
 Enjoy!
-(''Some of us would be most interested to know how you discovered this site.'')
