Tip of the day

"Where do I begin?" Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, that explains millions of things about the world, the people and things on it, and beyond. There are 2 ways to look things up in Wikipedia: by searching or by browsing... If you know the name of the topic you are looking for, simply type it into Wikipedia's search box and press Go. If you would like to look around Wikipedia to see what's on it, keep in mind that many major subjects have a root article on the Portal:Contents/Overviews page, and an outline listed at Portal:Contents/Outlines. There are some other "Tables of Contents" type pages on Wikipedia. They are: Portal:Contents/Portals – portals provide a digest of excerpts and things to do Portal:Contents/Lists – item lists like List of dog breeds Portal:Contents/Glossaries – alphabetized lists of definitions Wikipedia also has an alphabetical index of all of its articles, and a categorical index of most of them.
