   * If you have a **read-only access** to the pages, you can navigate this site as you would any other site.\\ You may want to click on the //Old revisions// button at the top/bottom of each page, if you want to see who changed what (in the current page).\\ Note that you can use the Discussion sections of the pages (when available) even if you have only **read-only** access
-  * If you have **write access** to some or all pages, you can change them by clicking on the //Edit this page// button at the top/bottom of each page.\\ You can use the basic formatting tools at the top of the edit window, or visit the [[wiki:syntax|Wiki syntax]] page to learn more about formatting.\\ \\ Once you are happy with your changes, please make sure that you **write a summary of what you changed** in the Edit summary input zone **before you save** the changes.\\ \\ Notes:

+    * There is a good chance you will use lots of **item lists** and need to know more about them:\\ \\ The lines starting with **''*''** will appear as an item list (use **''-''** for an //ordered// item list).\\ \\ Make sure that there are **2 spaces** (spaces are shown as '_' below) before the '*' and that the item lines are **not separated by blank lines**. If you want to force a //newline// in an item, use '**%%\\_%%**' (2 backslashes followed by a space).\\ Example: <code>__* An item on \\_2 lines...\\_with a bonus 3rd line
+____* and a sub_item</code> will appear as:
+        * An item on \\ 2 lines...\\ with a bonus 3rd line
+          * and a sub-item
     * You may be tempted to use the //Backward// and //Forward// buttons of your web browser (usually left and right arrows), when navigating on the wiki. Please refrain from using these buttons when you are editing a page and you have not saved your changes, if you do not want to lose your work!
     * You can visit the [[playground:|Playground]] and experiment with the wiki features there, if you want to practise before changing actual PMIP3 pages :-)
