Help:Manual/Main Page

This template is intended to help you to easily create a nice Main Page for a new test Wikipedia you open for contributing there yourself, or which you are creating for others so it would be easier for them to contribute.

The layout is based on the Tetum Wikipedia Main Page. It is of course in no way necessary to rely on this template for designing a test Wikipedia Main Page.
