This page describes '''basic navigation''' to get you exploring BelieveTheSign.

==Basic navigation in BelieveTheSign==
===How to navigate BelieveTheSign===
BelieveTheSign articles are all linked, or cross-referenced.

Wherever you see text like [[wikilink|this]], it means there is a link to some relevant article or BelieveTheSign page with further information elsewhere if you need it. Holding your mouse over the link will often show you where a link will take you. These links mean that articles do not need to cover common ground in depth; instead, you are always one click away from more information on any point that has a link attached.

There are other links towards the ends of most articles, for other articles of interest, relevant external web sites and pages, reference material. At the end of the article are relevant [[BelieveTheSign:Category|categories of knowledge]] which you can search and traverse in a loose [[hierarchy]] for further related information in a field.

Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions, audio readings, quotes, and eventually we would like to have links to the same article in other languages.

You can add further links if a relevant link is missing, and this is one way to participate as an editor.

===Category browsing===
BelieveTheSign’s target is to have a lot of information on all sorts of subjects relating to the [[Message]]ranging from [[William Branham’s life]], [[miracles]], [[prophecies]], [[healigs]], [[doctrines]], to everything and anything in between as it relates to a Christian’s life in these last days.

Every article has a list at the bottom of all the major categories it belongs to. For example, SUBJECT is listed under:

Each of these categories can be browsed and is linked to related categories in a loose [[hierachy]] or web.

Try browsing the various categories below right now.
