Introduction to NeoWikis: Come Here To Get Started :) |
|
Hi everyone, Some general notesThere are some VERY simple concepts for Wikis:
How to get started for newcomers!Personally I believe the easiest way to get started is to browse the wikis to get a feel for them.Learn the basic markup by clicking on the edit tags so you know some basic editing. This page here on Naruto has some nice basic markup that you can check out to get an idea. When you feel you are ready, find some small pages and see if there's anything you can help add to them. Or perhaps find a page that has some grammar or spelling errors that you can correct. You can find small pages using a special page called the "Short Pages". (Check out the Short Pages for Metal Gear and Smackdown). These special pages list all the pages from shortest to longest, and are a great place to start. If you are more brave you can find "Wanted" pages. These are pages that other contributors or Wiki Staff have linked from other pages but have not been created yet. Try to do more than create a page with one short sentence - write as much as you can think of to create a healthy start to the page. If you can only remember 3 sentences that's already FAR BETTER than a placeholder like "New page." If you are going to do that I would suggest you don't bother since it prevents another person from coming along and creating a proper page. To see wanted pages, check out the Wanted Pages for Zelda. Another way you can help is to flesh out the 'hub' pages. We need linked lists of characters, missions, etc from those pages. In this way you can help build up the Wikis by generating "Wanted" pages. Remember, every little bit helps to improve the Wikis! So if you aren't up yet to creating new pages try to help improve existing ones or even roam around finding small things to tweak. Ask the Wiki Staff and Others for HelpMany Wiki Staff are experienced in editing portals, and are familiar with what we're looking for. Also, many of our members have experience editing Wikis and can help out with editing markup and other questions, so don't be afraid to ask! That's what the Best Practices and Help forum is here forThis message was edited by Redemption on Jun 20 2008. This message was edited by Redemption on Jun 20 2008.

Now for seriousness regarding page creation. Do you just put the basic url then page:title ? And when that pops up edit it? Does it get added to a list somewhere or should you just remember it? ------------------- | |

This is a brilliant creation, and I am really enjoying making the Smackdown! one better. Out of interest is it possible to start a neowiki for a game series that is not included yet? ------------------- | |

Creating NeoWikis is the same for creating Portals; you'll need to request them in this forum and an Admin will create them if they agree that it's needed. | |

Search for the page title, making sure to use the proper spelling and capitalization. If it doesn't exist, there will be a link on the search results that will allow you to make the page. | |

Nope, this isn't the place. To become wiki staff, you'll need to contribute consistently to a wiki for a while. Eventually, the staff will recognize you, and if they think they need a little help, you'll be one of the ones that will have a good chance of being asked. ------------------- | |
