Troublesome characters: The following high-ascii characters don't work well for the mirroring process, and have been fixed

  • dash – dash (use - instead)
  • “double quotes” (use " instead)

Changing the overall wiki appearance

The Side bar menu

Edit the left 'navigation' sidebar: Mediawiki:Sidebar

Images used in layout

The top left logo: Image:Recoup trans 150.png
