Sputnik's behavior is controlled by three things:

1. Configuration parameters
2. System nodes
3. Available plugins

The simplest way to change Sputnik is by setting or changing built-in configurations parameters.  More serious changes could be done by editing certain system nodes, which contain templates, stylesheets, etc.  Finally, you can install [[Plugins|plugins]] (or develop!), which would then have their own configuration parameters.

## Configuration Parameters

Configuration parameters can be set in the launcher script or by editing a node called [[sputnik/config]].  See [[Basic Configuration]] for the basic ones, and [[More Parameters]] for additional ones.

## System Nodes

* [[Navigation]] - configure the navigation bar.
* [[Templates]] - change how Sputnik's pages are laid out.
* [[Styles]] - change CSS.
* [[Internationalization]] - translate Sputnik's interface into a language other than English, Russian or Portuguese (or change the default translation).  (If you get far, let us know, maybe we can include your translation in the next version.)

## Plugins

Plugins are optional modules that add changes that go beyond appearances.  Among other things, you can use plugins to change:

* [[Markup]] - change how Sputnik converts text to HTML.
* [[Storage]] - change how Sputnik actually stores your data.
* [[Authentication]] - change how Sputnik authenticates users.

You can also use plugins to add [[Captcha]].  You can also use them to turn Sputnik into something that is no longer quite a wiki.  For instance, a bug tracker (see [[Demos]]).
