80 +== **Content Guidelines** ==
81 81  
82 -* Ensure your content is well-researched, you don't need to include references in the format of footnotes for your material, but you should try to include studies or links to give credibility to your claims. For instance, just claiming that [[IQ is genetic|doc:Main Categories.Science & Research.Race & IQ.WebHome]] is genetic wouldn't be valid unless you provide a study backing up that assertion, or more likely link to a page within this site that explains why IQ is not something that is purely determined by environmental factors. If such a page doesn't exist, create it, and start providing studies that show this.

If such a page doesn't exist, create it, and start providing studies that show this.
83 83  * Use clear, concise language and avoid using slurs, slang, or troll like language. This isn't supposed to be encyclopedia dramatica, I'd like things to remain relatively mature and well thought out.

91 +== **XWiki Editing Modes** ==
92 +
93 +XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements:๎ˆ†
94 +
95 +* **WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor**: Ideal for users unfamiliar with wiki syntax, this editor provides a user-friendly interface resembling traditional word processors. It allows for straightforward text formatting, image insertion, and link creation without delving into markup language. ๎ˆ€cite๎ˆ‚turn0search0๎ˆ๎ˆ†
96 +* **Wiki Editor**: This mode enables direct editing using XWikiโ€™s markup syntax. Itโ€™s suitable for users comfortable with wiki syntax and those requiring precise control over the content structure.๎ˆ†
97 +* **Inline Form Editing**: Used primarily for pages containing structured data or custom applications, this mode presents editable fields directly within the page view, streamlining data entry and updates.๎ˆ†
98 +
99 +== **Essential Formatting Options** ==
100 +
101 +To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques:๎ˆ†
102 +
103 +* **Headings**: Organize content hierarchically using headings. In XWiki syntax, headings are defined by one to six plus signs (+), corresponding to heading levels 1 to 6.๎ˆ†
