I'll wait until we have some decent content (like NullSoldier's tutorials) before making news about it.

Sweet, good job.

Life is like a pipe, it's hard to get through and you're not always guaranteed a happy ending.

Here's the first one. I'll do the rest when I get home from work if they're not already done.

I just created a page for the simple searchword 'portal', for which I just copied the first section of text Wikipedia has to say about it.

I hope this is ok for the most basic info that the Wiki will eventually contain. But since this is a more dedicated one a lot is going to be self-written anyway.

So this is actually the first time I'm contributing to a wiki ^^

Can anyone tell me how to make internal links 'redirect'? Right now I need to have the link 'Aperature Science Handheld Portal Device' link to the page 'Portal Gun'...

Look on the mediawiki site for the site manual.

In the interest of "wikiality", I would say Aperature Science Handheld Portal Device is the proper name, and therefore Portal Gun should redirect to that.
