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.
- Text editing is easy to do, just add whatever you like
- We can correct any mistakes so don't worry about 'destroying' anything.
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.
- 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 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 mediawiki.org website.
Add pages to the frontpage
The front page is a little different. It pulls content from other pages, so you should read the instructions at the top of the edit for the front page to find out how to change things there.
Recent Changes
You can patrol recent changes to augment any new additions or correct any mistakes.
Anything else you like
- Perhaps you can think of a gallery that'd look cool - you can make one here.
- Create the community portal? - nobody's done that yet.
- Start up a news service on current events.
- Start a podcast, like the assembly podcast.
