 === How can I convert typeX into typeY? ===
 Use [wiki:Convert] or [wiki:MultiType] too, it's almighty.
+
+=== What is std::string and what should I know about it? ===
+std::string is part of the C++ standard. It's more than just a char array: It provides several useful functions, is much easier, more flexible and more safe. But this is not Java, so you will still get a crash if you access a char outside the range of the string. Read the [http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/ reference] for more information.
+
+=== What is std::list / std::set / std::map / std::vector / std::stack / std::queue / std::pair? ===
+All those are STL containers. They're part of the C++ standard and available on every system. Read the [wiki:howto/STL page about STL usage] for help and more information.
