|firstStepsTitle=First steps tutorial

|firstStepsText=Our '''[[Commons:First steps|first steps tour]]''' and our '''[[Commons:FAQ|FAQ]]''' will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to [[Special:Upload|upload files]] and our basic '''[[Commons:Licensing|licensing policy]]'''. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. ''Be bold'' contributing here and ''assume good faith'' for the intentions of others. This is a ''[[w:wiki|wiki]]''—it is really easy.

|helpTitle=Getting help

|helpText=More information is available at the [[Commons:Community Portal|community portal]]. You may ask questions at the '''[[Commons:Help desk|help desk]]''', [[Commons:Village pump|village pump]] or on [[w:Wikipedia:IRC tutorial|IRC]] channel [[irc:wikimedia-commons|#wikimedia-commons]] ([http://wikipedia-irc.cruxwan.de/Chat-commons.html direct access]). You can also contact an [[Commons:Administrators|administrator]] on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at [[Commons talk:Licensing]].

|tipsTitle=Goodies, tips and tricks

* Please [[w:Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your name]] on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
