User:Aya/Wikibooks

This page was originially created in an effort to change this page into a bona fide Wikibook about Wikibooks itself, including how to create them, and how to work with them (linking to other pages in the Wikibooks namespace as appropriate). The idea is to try to create a normative index to all these pages, while merging any duplicate content. It should include information on common conventions and practises. This may already exist somewhere else. Add it to the lists and categories of Wikibooks, and try to get it linked from the main page, since the main page doesn't really tell you what the site is all about, and the other pages are somewhat disorganised.
