FAQ - Ask your questions here

1. There are so many different Kelabit related websites. It's confusing where to find information I want.

  • This Wiki aims to be your one-stop information centre. For example:
    • If you look for pages categorised under Technology==> Internet for instance, all the Kelabit and Bario related sites should be listed.
    • Searching for E-Bario in the search box will show you the project link at the UNIMAS website and the E-Bario homepage.

2.Does Wiki support HTML codes?

  • In addition to the formatting tools in the editor window, there is a set of HTML codes that are also permitted. See meta link-- [1]


3. I've made some changes, and saved the article but the changes are not displayed.
