I tweaked it for tip... the code for a tip is
{{Documentation/Tip|tip text}}

That's for each editor (you, me, whoever changes the page) to type in a
short comment about what changes they made before they save. It's a
convenience for other writers if we remember to fill that in with our
edits - that way when we check edit history, we can see a comment
associated with the change without having to compare pages to see what
has changed. We all forget to do it though... we get in a hurry and
skip it unfortunately.

An FAQ on editing in a Wiki?
You can start here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Help:Editing
and of course asking questions on the mailing list is good too.

The FAQs are a neglected part of the Docs. For the most part they have
not been checked against any of the 3.x releases. Any that don't have a
NeedsRework tag should be at least read over once to see fi they are OK.
Any that have been tagged NeedsRework are usually ones that someone
noticed is completely wrong, outdated, or has formatting issues and
needs cleanup.
If you're tackling the ones you can answer, that's a HUGE help :-) Take
them on at your own pace, and please feel free to keep asking questions.
