 * ACLs don't exist by default for new pages - you have to create them. This has one very important consequence:
  When you establish an ACL for a page, the permissions automatically come with an "implicit deny", which in layman's terms translates to the following: "From now on, noone is allowed to do anything with this page unless specified by one of the rules in this ACL".

 * Keep in mind that the point of this wiki is the sharing of knowledge. Locking down (i.e. establishing an ACL for) many or most of your pages is not a recommended practice, and quickly becomes an administrative hassle.
 * Renaming a page in the wiki actually equates to moving the page to a new one with the renamed title. When a page is moved, the ACL remains with the old page (which is either now a redirect page or deleted altogether, depending on what you set during the move), and a new one will need to be created for the new page.

-At the top of every page exists an "ACL" tab (ACL stands for Access Control List). This controls the security of the page. The interface is not the most intuitive, but here you can set read, edit and other permissions for an article. Some tips regarding ACLs:

-Disclaimer: The concept of Mediawiki categories is best learned (and appreciated) by doing. No amount of theoretical explanation can convey the value or the ideal way of using categories (Trust us, we've tried. Many times). Just keep in mind that using Mediawiki categories vastly enriches the experience, despite any initial frustrations you may experience. That being said, what follows is a summary of categories. Again, it will likely only make sense once you've already started using categories, and figured it out through your own use.

 ===The concept of "tagging" and how categories work in Mediawiki===
 * Think of categories as tags or labels that you would apply to something. For example, alprazolam is a "controlled narcotic". It is also a "generic drug". The terms "generic drugs" and "controlled narcotics" are not mutually exclusive, nor is one strictly inclusive of the other i.e. not all generic drugs are controlled narcotics and not all narcotics are generic drugs. Avoid getting caught up in the mutual exclusivity of your categories, and rather think in a nebulous mindset when drumming up categories.
