Hello, I'm new to Wikipedia. My biggest frustration is that in order to find help, you have to look in many different areas. Editing help is best found on Wikipedia.org and Server Admin is best found on wikimedia.org. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows how to use system messages. For instance, there is a system message "googlesearch". If I simply put {{googlesearch}} it obviously doesn't get interpretted properly. This also begs another question. If I want to add my own JavaScript and/or Flash properties, how would I do this. In wikimedia I cannot find the method that ignores wikimedia so that I can properly define JavaScript/Flash blocks of code? Thank you, Graeme.

Again, I wanted to know if this is the right resource to be asking these types of questions. This list isn't as busy as I would have expected. Also, is there support for FORMS. I think I'm gonna have to make some extensions!?
