| − | =The Wiki=
| |
| | | | |
| − | A wiki is essentially a website that anyone can edit. By clicking on the edit tab at the top of any page, you can edit its contents.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==What you can do==
| |
| − | ===Edit and Add-to===
| |
| − | * Already existing articles may need lots of work or tweaks here and there. This is particularly true of some pages with poor formatting or spelling.
| |
| − | * Text editing is easy to do, just add whatever you like, as long as it's clean.
| |
| − | * We can correct any mistakes so don't worry about 'destroying' anything!
| |
| − | * If you want any help editing, look at [[Help:Editing]].
| |
| − | ===Make 'Stubs'===
| |
| − | * Click on red links or search for a page name that doesn't exist to start editing a new page.
| |
| − | * Making very short articles stimulates people to edit the text, which helps grow the content of the website. However, articles which contain content of the same quality as 'OMG they r fit!!!one!!!"""!11!' are just going to get deleted, so try to put something worthwhile there!
| |
| − | * Never put placeholders like ''under construction'', as the whole site is technically ''always'' under construction, so it is redundant.
| |
| − | ===Format Content===
| |
| − | * If you're familiar with [[Help:Editing|the codes]] to make an article look nice then by all means go ahead and make it look pretty.
| |
| − | * There is a good resource for editing on the [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] website.
| |
| − | ===Add pages to the frontpage===
| |
| − | * If you can think of something to add to the main page please suggest it in the [[BRGS_Wiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]] so a moderator can look into it.
| |
| − | ===Recent Changes===
| |
| − | * You can patrol [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] to augment any new additions or correct any mistakes.
| |
| − | ===Become a friend of the BRGS Wiki===
| |
| − | * The BRGS Wiki is now on [http://www.myspace.com/brgswiki MySpace]. Feel free to add us to your friend list and help spread the word.
| |
| − | ===Anything else you like===
| |
| − | * Perhaps you can think of a gallery that'd look cool - you can make one here.
| |
| − | * Start up a news service on [[current events]].
| |
| − | * Start a podcast, like the [[assembly podcast]].
