====== How to use the Wohnanlagen-Wiki ======

This wiki turns official information into practical steps and adds clearly labelled experience from the residences. For important deadlines and rules, always check your own agreement and the linked primary source as well.

===== What the wiki is for =====

The independent Wohnanlagen-Wiki helps with applications, moving in, everyday life and moving out. It is **not a service of Studierendenwerk Hamburg** and does not replace individual advice.

The following are particularly authoritative:

  * your own tenancy agreement and accommodation offer,
  * official letters addressed to you,
  * the house rules and other rules that apply to you,
  * current information from the responsible official service.

===== How information is labelled =====

<WRAP ww-note ww-note-official>
**Official rule**

The statement comes from a linked agreement, policy or official page. Example: a deadline in the standard tenancy agreement. Still check whether your own agreement differs.
</WRAP>

<WRAP ww-note ww-note-local>
**Depends on the residence**

The procedure may be different locally. Example: payment and fault reporting in the laundry room. The local notice and guidance from your residence management take precedence.
</WRAP>

<WRAP ww-note ww-note-experience>
**Tip from experience**

Residents have found this step helpful in practice. Example: take additional photographs of the condition of your room. A tip from experience is not a contractual rule.

<WRAP ww-note>
**Independent guidance**

The wiki puts several sources into context and guides you to the right next step. Example: for damage, distinguish between the emergency services, a local on-call contact and the tenant portal.

===== Search, language & accessibility =====

Use the search in the page header or the topic areas on the home page. The German version is the authoritative editorial source; the English pages mirror its structure and content. Navigation, links and forms should work with a keyboard and on small screens.

===== Report an error =====

Is information missing, a link broken or a statement worded too strongly? [[mailto:feedback@wohnanlagenwiki.de|Write to the editorial team]]. Do not send contract numbers, room numbers or other personal data.
