A run through would make it much easier for people to join in with WikiIndex, but even if that is not done instructions on what editmode are essential.

Maybe a link to [[Category:Wiki_Edit_Mode]] could be enough, but I would prefer to see a basic explanation of each stat and its variables, with a link to read more. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 05:43, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

:WikiIndex didn't invent the concept - MediaWiki and other wiki engines allow the wiki owner to configure who can and cannot edit the wiki. I've seen referred to as "user permissions" or "edit mode", but it's a common concept. It's just that it's transparent for wikis which allow anonymous users to edit. Still, your point that it needs to be better explained is well-taken. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:45, 18 May 2009 (EDT)
