-*individuals - persons who are new to this environment.
-*user/s - unregistered individual who primarily, just, reads the wiki.
-Minor editing of spelling, punctuation, and grammar may be made directly to the page containing the errors.  For Major edits, it is suggested to use the editor's "my talk" page for editing a copy of the area requiring updating, then paste a finish copy of the edit back to the area in order to update the Wiki.
-The Wiki cannot be broken, messed up, beyond repair.  Each edit is monitored by the software (down to a simple change of a single letter, a period...), and the editor's user name is attached to the history record of the page.  Each time a revision to a page is made the original copy is saved and available for undoing an edit.
-#A An individual must, first, register, then log in to edit the wiki.
-#All edits that are saved become readily available for viewing, immediately, by users.

-#*To keep the edits of users synchronized with each other, and
-#*To provide a uniformed outlined wiki.
-==How Wiki Software Works?==
-Unlike word processing programs (e.g., MicroSoft Office Word, OpenOffice.org Writer), Wiki software uses code, know as: markup, for formatting the text and structuring the outline of the document as a complete package.  The text with markup, also known as: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples WikiText],<sup>1</sup> is entered in by the editor.  The end user only see the formatted text in an outline structure, as defined in the wikitext, by the editor.
