Resources are informational pages used throughout the wiki. Generally they are:

Tutorials (Category:Tutorials) — Step by step guides on how to do some kind of Riso related process (including maintenance, repairs, printing guides, etc.). Examples:
External resources — A writeup of and link to an externally hosted resource or tool (or gathering multiple resources around a topic). Examples:
Articles — General article pages on any number of topics—explanations, definitions, histories, etc. (these might eventually be broken out into their own types of pages if needed).

To add a resource page you need to be logged in (if needed, you can create an account) and then in the search bar, enter the name of the page you want to create. Scroll to the bottom of the search results page. It will say "There were no results matching the query. Create the page "LINK TO CREATE YOUR PAGE NAME HERE" on this wiki!" and you can click on the link to open the editor.

Include {{Tutorial}} or {{Resource}} to insert a template of one of the resource types. Type your content and save the page.
