A Note concerning words and formatting used within the wiki.

An automated process has been used to try and determine formatting and WikiLinks when building the core articles for this Wiki from the QuickFacts. This automatic processing is not particularly clever, and can generate WikiLinks and Formatting that obfuscate and confuse. Rather than spend a long time developing a 'perfect' formatter / parser, I aimed instead for a 'workable' one. The information presented is readable, and more sensical formatting is left for the WikiUser to create!

Because many links are written as CamelCase (IE: Capitalized words automatically turn into links), remember, when a WikiLink appears it is most likely the WikiLink words should be understood as separated words. So, 'DsmcRestore' when shown in a literal context should most likely be understood as 'dsmc restore'. Surprisingly, this issue can be transparent - people read a WikiLink as separate words without thinking about it.

Hopefully, the nature of wiki will mean that any confusion and strange formatting will be edited away. Understand the power of wiki! Use The Force!
