Useful tips to teach Wikis

 * Short edits
 * Wikis are not word processors (there's google apps for that!)
 * Make use of history
 * Every edit gets saved as a separate version of the page.
 * Restoring deleted text from a page.
 * REFRESH!
 * If your browser has been sitting idle at a page for a long time, another user may have edited it since it was loaded. Refreshing the page will allow the most recent version of the page to be loaded into your browser.
