Help

How to find your way round the Lair, and what the odd marks on its pages mean.

Getting around

The sidebar (the Menu button on a phone) is split the way a wiki's is:

  • Main Pages has the Main Page, Contact, this Help page (with the full Contents at the bottom), a random page and the Recent Changes log.
  • Projects are the collections and guides themselves.

The tabs along the top work on whatever page you're reading: Print it, Download as .txt, see What links here, or copy a Permanent link. The search box looks through the whole site.

Reading the pages

Sidenotes
A small boxed number in the text has a matching note: beside the page on a wide screen, underneath on a narrow one. Point at either and the other lights up.
Dates on dotted lines
In the Bookmarks, a year at the end of a dotted line means the site is gone and the link goes to its archived copy from that year. In the Magazine Rack, the date is when the piece was published.
Index numbers
The Bookmarks index points to sections by number; an M in front means a section of the Magazine Rack.
§ numbers
Some long pages number their sections (§1, 1.2…) so they're easy to cite.
↗ after a link
The link leaves the Lair.
