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

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.

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.
