Help:Editing: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:42, 13 May 2009

What to add

Lots of things. We welcome contributions relating to:

Debate
Research
Testimony
Personal Biography
Profiles of groups
Terminology (about)
Important texts (about)
Legal info
Profiles of countries
Any other encyclopaedia-type content.

Really important stuff will also be added to non-category-type indexes listed on the homepage.

Books

Please note that there is another project being proposed for the writing of book reviews and archiving of historical material from the movement. This is not to say that the work cannot begin on this website.

Categorising

We have to categorise virtually every article that we write. This is very important for encyclopedia articles.

See Help:Categories

Capitalisation

NewgonWiki avoids unnecessary capitalisation in titles and subsections.

Where to start

Just some ideas.

Articles in progress

A list of articles that cannot yet be categorised (added to the encyclopedia).

Potential project content

Details articles that may be developed into project portals.

Wanted pages

Develop one of these or generate a listing by editing Wanted Page or a list-type article, making sure to [[wikilink]].

Special pages

Browse this index for novel stuff that will help build the wiki.

Essays, etc?

Essay/Experimental/Creative writing are other potential uses of NewgonWiki, and are openly encouraged. It won't necessarily get you a link on the front page (this will be determined by editorial consensus), but all content should be added to Category:Essays

NewgonWiki:To-do list

Find something on our to-do list.

Resources

Linkblog - For listing links of interest to Newgon.com editors.
