Obviously it&#39;s based on Wikipedia not Wikinews but shoul still be helpful!</div>

I&#39;ve got an Australian university using Wikinews as a class assignment<br>
for final-year students.<br>
<br>
I could really, really do with an incredibly concise editing guide.<br>
They&#39;re not showing a lot of &#39;clue&#39; when it comes to markup, filling in<br>
templates, and so. But, they&#39;re doing a reasonable job contributing<br>
despite that.<br>
<br>
Anyone point me at some documents I can get Prof. Blackall to tell them<br>
are &#39;required reading&#39;?<br>
