Introduction
Hello! [insert greeting translated into many languages here, linked to the introduction in several languages]
Welcome to the Custom Track Wiiki!
Before you get started, we suggest familiarizing yourself with how to use a wiki if you haven't already.
Wikipedia also features an excellent tutorial that you may find relevant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial
Don't forget to read the Wiiki Rules! Failure to do so will result in warnings or bans if necessary.
