 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.
+==== Page locks ====
+  * When you edit a page on this wiki, you are the temporary //owner// of the page (i.e. you have a //lock// on the page) during 15 minutes, which should give you plenty of time to validate your changes. Anyway, the //lock// is renewed for 15 minutes each time you click on the //Preview// button, and the wiki will even warn you when your lock is about to expire with the following popup message:\\ <code>Your lock for editing this page is about to expire in a minute.
+To avoid conflicts use the preview button to reset the locktimer.</code>
+  * There is a (very) slight chance that somebody else will already be editing the page you want to update... You will then get an error message looking like:\\ <code>This page is currently locked for editing by another user.
+You have to wait until this user finishes editing or the lock expires.
+  * Currently locked by: jypeter
+  * Lock expires at: 2009/02/03 10:10 (6 min)</code> In that case, just try again a few minutes later, when the other person is done editing.

 You can visit the [[playground:|Playground]] and experiment with the wiki features there, if you want to practise before changing actual PMIP3 pages :-)
+==== Non standard wiki features ====
+Page editors and creators can also use some features we have added to this wiki.  They are documented only here (and **not** in the [[wiki:syntax|Wiki syntax]] page)
+=== Adding fancy boxes ===
+You can use many kind of boxes! Note that if the boxes seem to //float and mix// with the regular text of the page, you should add a ''%%~~CLEARFLOAT~~%%'' or ''%%~~CL~~%%'' directive after your %%<box>...</box>%% directive
+<code><box>Basic box</box></code>
+<box>Basic box</box>
+~~CLEARFLOAT~~
+<code><box red left>Red left-justified box</box></code>
+<box red left>Red left-justified box</box>
+~~CLEARFLOAT~~
+<code><box blue right round>Blue right-justified //round// box</box></code>
+<box blue right round>Blue right-justified //round// box</box>
+~~CLEARFLOAT~~
+<code><box rgb(200,255,200)>Light green box</box></code>
+<box rgb(200,255,200)>Light green box</box>
+~~CLEARFLOAT~~

+=== Adding notes ===

+<note important>%%<note important>My note</note>%%</note>
