Wiki 24 is an online encyclopedia for 24 and like any encyclopedia, it is important that you can find information quickly. Below are several ways in which you can find information.

[edit] Using the search bar

Under the navigation menu on the left of the page is the search bar. The search bar can be used like any search bar on any website or search engine. Simply typing in an article's name and pressing go will take you to the desired page, or, if the page doesn't exist, a list of similar pages and a link to create the missing page itself.

[edit] Using the contents

At the top of the Main Page is a browser banner. Clicking on any of the links there will take you to a sub-contents page for a variety of specific links about that topic. In most cases, you should be able to find your article there.

[edit] Links

On most Wiki 24 pages and articles, there are links to other related topics. Clicking on these links should take you to the linked article. Some links, however, take readers off the Wiki 24 site to pages like Wikipedia, and Wiki 24 is not responsible for the content of external links.
