Contributing To The Wiki

About This Page
This page will explain how to contribute to this wiki, which can be done by editing existing pages or adding new ones.

Guidance When Contributing
We don't yet have a page containing guidance for contributing, but one will probably get created as the wiki evolves.

As the MediaWiki Help page on Editing Pages says "be bold. Go ahead - make changes."!!!

Try not to worry too much about stepping on other people's toes, but at the same time be considerate. If you want to get rid of or radically change someone's existing work maybe try to contact them or talk to about it on the Talk Page (more on that later).

If you are just adding more content to existing pages or creating new pages then you should try to feel free to go ahead and do it.

People, at some point, are going to disagree about what content should be on the site, where it will go etc. etc. Let's cross those bridges when we come to them and we'll evolve a way of managing this.

For the moment: be considerate, be thoughtful, don't be offensive, try to be accurate, don't break any laws (copyright, defamation etc)

Getting A Login
You don't need a login to edit the wiki. If you edit anonymously your IP (the internet address of your computer) will be recorded and that is all.

But it's much better to have a login.

Editing An Existing Page
I'm going to add lots of useful tips for editing, but for the moment, just click the Edit button on a page and use it like any Word document editor, then click Save. Please enter a short sentence or two about the change you made, and that's it.
