Too cluttered. MediaWiki guidelines are to not include a TOC with 3 or fewer sections; make hint less busy
The example family tree database ('''<code>example.gramps</code>''' file) ideally will have an example of everything, at least one, of everything Gramps does, or which it is possible to do in Gramps, even if obscure etc.

Your installation of Gramps should include an example family tree databasedata. This is used for working through tutorials and for safely exploring tools or features. Most of the examples, [[:Category:How_do_I...|"How do I..." tutorials]] and [[Special:ListFiles|illustrations]] in this wiki are based on this example data freshly imported into a newly created (empty) tree. Such a tree can be considered to be 'expendable.' If you accidentally mangle the tree then simply [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Deleting_a_Family_Tree|discard the Tree]], create a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Starting_a_new_Family_Tree|new Tree]] and [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Importing_data|import]] the example family tree data again. The example is also used provide a known , stable and predictable environment for testing, for working through tutorials, and for experimenting.__TOC__Many conditions cannot be recreated without tree data. Using this tree (as a common frame of reference) eliminates the extra complexity of [[How_to_create_a_good_bug_report#Creating_a_test_database|describing how to recreate the data]] before [[How_to_create_a_good_bug_report#Recording_the_steps_that_reproduce_the_bug|describing the issue]].
