(a ton more useful information about screenwriting)
welcome
jaWiki is the wiki section of johnaugust.com. Like its sister site, it aims to offer a ton of useful information about screenwriting.
As of November 2006, there are 148 178 200 articles. The hope is that the number will grow with reader contributions. You can read more information about jaWiki in the FAQ.

Meme of the Week: Preview Is Your Friend. As you’re creating or editing an entry, click on the “Preview” button, conveniently located between “Save” and “Cancel” at the bottom of the entry field. You’ll get a convenient first-look at what your completed entry will look like, and another chance to tweak and finesse your entry before it goes live.

Where to start
There’s a map of jaWiki, which is very much in-progress. Currently, the most fully operational section is the Glossary.
You should also try the Index and Recent Changes links, which are always in the sidebar to the right.
If you’re looking to experiment with how wiki pages work, try the Playground.
If you encounter any bugs or glitches (not just missing pages that someone needs to write), please note them on the bug page.
