=== Software ===
The biggest difference, obviously, is the wiki software. We're running the current version of [http[mediawikiwiki://www.mediawiki.org/ MediawikiMediaWiki|MediaWiki]], which is the most widely used wiki software in existence. It may not be perfect, but it is significantly more flexible than the closed-source fork of PmwikiPmWiki that TV Tropes uses. Useful features that you didn't know you've always wanted:
* Titles with any characters -- and custom titles that don't work can still be achieved with <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki></code> markup.
* Links can have formatting embedded in the link text -- no coding three or more links just to have an emphasized word in the middle of a pothole.
Line 43:
* ... and plenty of bot software to help clean up the links afterwards.
 
Even more features are available in [[Special:Preferences|your user preferences]], like spoilers that are revealed when you move your mouse over them, or automatically refreshing [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. And if there's any feature you want that we don't have, we can find it in the huge MediawikiMediaWiki community, or code it up ourselves. Feel free to ask on the forums.
 
And of course, we have lots of [[Help:Editing|Help with Editing]] pages.
