Hi,
I went to the page, but I'm really new to this, so couldn't make out
anything. Is there a web page that gives the instructions on exactly how to
be a wiki gnome?

Thanks,
Ilavenil

It is morally as bad not to care whether a thing is true or not, so long as
it makes you feel good, as it is not to care how you got your money as long
as you have got it.
