Wiki navigation is somewhat primitive. If you find yourself at a dead end or in a standalone pdf document, you may not see the main sidebar menu of the wiki. Use your ''browser's'' back button to return to the previous page or until you find yourself in familiar territory.

Editors can create links before a page is made. These show up in red (in the wiki world, these are known as "redlinks"). Clicking on one of those links will take you to an empty page.

=== Editing ===
[[Radiology|Imaging Services]]
The Guide to YKHC Medical Practices uses a lightweight graphical editor to simplify the process of editing pages, but the standard wiki markup you may be familiar with from other wikis is still valid. You may find this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet cheatsheet] helpful.
<br />[[Lab|Laboratory Services]]
=== Pages with Structure ===
<br />[[Respiratory/Cardiopulmonary Services]]
When a page has more than three headings in it, the wiki automatically generates a table of contents. Clicking a TOC item takes you to that heading on the page. You can show or hide the TOC.
