'[#[Lyceum Basics]
The Lyceum is BotB's wiki-esque learning center.  Here '[[BotBrs] who reach Level 7, find themselves with '[[BotBr#Levels[Bonus Magic Power] to share their wealth of knowledge in editing or adding to this repository of wisdom. Naturally, we would ask that published article be interesting, concise, relevant, AND useful to the average BotBr. Please use common sense when starting new articles or editing existing ones: read the guideines below.

'[#[Search]
The Lyceum's homepage has a basic search query form. It will look for any article, titles, or texts which '[b]contain'[/b] your search query.  Since it does not use spaces to separate query words, searching concisely will get more relevant results.

'[t[b2]Pro tip'[/t]
As it is a google search engine, you can use google search tricks. For example, if you want to search articles in the Lyveum, add to your key word(s): '[c]site:http://battleofthebits.com/lyceum'[/c]

'[#[Editing Articles]
As noted above, once a BotBr reaches Level 7, they obtain the '[[Bonus Magic Power] to edit and add Lyceum articles. Once this happens, an 'edit' button becomes visible right next to the title at the top of each article.

When a BotBer becomes level 12, the magic power extends to being able to edit '[[Article categories[categories]. Take a look at the assigned categories when editing an article and adjust if necessary.

Keep the following in mind:
•	'[b]-'[/b] All text formating uses '[[Firki Markup], therefore HTML will not work. Check out current articles to see '[[Firki Markup] in action to learn how to use it.
•	'[b]-'[/b] When submitting an article edit, make sure to fill in the 'Editor's Notes' for the Lyceum.  This note is placed in the article's history.
•	'[b]-'[/b] When referring to a subject, try to refer to an article within the Lyceum as much as possible instead of outside. This reduces the risks of broken links and enhances the maintainability.
•	'[b]-'[/b] Check for broken links.
•	'[b]-'[/b]  If you're level 12 or higher, check and edit the '[[Article categories]. 
•	'[b]-'[/b] Use the '[[Firki Markup] for sub headers. 
•	'[b]-'[/b] You can use a template to make sure you cover as much as necessary. Go to edit-mode of the template and copy and past it in the new/t be updated article. Remove redundant headings.
