Basically whatever's useful from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing .

Actually, that can probably be the reference manual, and we can just build the test from there.

Exam contents

The exam should ask the person to make a wiki page from scratch, with the following things:

• headings: ==, ===
• text: '', ''', '''''
• signing: ~~~, ~~~~
• lists: *, **, #, ##
• indentation: :, ::
• links: [[link]], [[link|linktext]], http://link, [http://link linktext] * redirects: <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[link]]
• categories: [[Category:name]], [[:Category:name]]
• formatting: <pre>text to format</pre>
• images: [[Image:name.ext|thumb|left|caption]], Upload file

It should also cover a few other items of note:

• creating new pages (especially with the "Go" button not allowing you to)
• talk page format
• edit summaries
• when to mark an edit as "minor"

Exam

1. Go to the Rebel Squadrons wiki and create a new page called Wikixam PIN, substituting your own PIN for the word "PIN".
3. Now pretend that you are a random user seeing this page for the first time and have a question about it. Post your question in an inappropriate place and don't sign it.
4. Back as yourself again, move the question to an appropriate place, attribute it, and respond in an appropriate manner and format.
5. Upload an image and place a thumbnail of it at the top right of the page. The picture and caption can be anything you like (within reason).
6. Give your page a category, and you're done!
