Please note that this is NOT to replace the [https://typewriterdatabase.com/ Typewriter Database] or other resources. Rather, this site aims to collect information and make it easily accessible for new and experienced typewriter users alike. This site is created and maintained by the [https://discord.gg/ws5Gzaf Typewriter Discord server]. The Typewriter Wiki is still quite new, so please excuse our dust as we complete pages and add more content. </div> |}  {| id="mp-right" style="width:100%; vertical-align:top; background:#ffecdf;" | style="padding:2px;" | <h2 id="mp-right-h2" style="margin:3px; background:#ffcece; font-family:inherit; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #a3b0bf; text-align:left; color:#000; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Getting Started</h2> |- | style="color:#000; padding:2px 5px;" | <div id="rightcreate"> [[File:IdealA4Standard.png |frameless|right|250px|link=Ideal]] ===Buying A Typewriter=== * How do I choose a typewriter?
