Note that our wiki looks very similar to Wikipedia because it uses the same software, called [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki]. | |||
Anything you think is relevant to feminism in some way, or which you think other feminists might appreciate knowing more about, is an acceptable topic. | == How do I contribute to the wiki? == | ||
=== Creating new pages === | |||
To create a new page, first enter the name of the page you would like to create into the Search field on the top right. | |||
[[File:help-wiki-01-search.png|thumb|none|700px|The search box]] | |||
Given that the page doesn't yet exist, it will return a results page like the following. | |||
[[File:help-wiki-02-results.png|thumb|none|700px|The results page for a non-existing page]] | |||
There you can click on the red link in the sentence saying "Create the page so-and-so" and it should lead to a page that looks like the following. | |||
[[File:help-wiki-03-create.png|thumb|none|700px|The editing interface for an empty page]] | |||
From this point on, you edit the contents you want the new page to have, via the editing interface like, when editing any existing page. See below for more details on how this content editing works. | |||
The MediaWiki help pages have more details on [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page starting a new page]. | |||
=== Editing an existing page === | |||
To start editing an existing page, simple click the "Edit" button at the top right panel of the page, as seen in the following image: | |||
[[File:help-wiki-04-edit.png|thumb|none|700px|Top portion of the page [[Black Feminism]]. The "Edit" button is marked in yellow.]] | |||
=== Editing the actual content === | |||
So you've started a new page or are editing an existing one, but how does the editing interface actually work? | |||
What you write into the editing box appears mostly as-is in the resulting page. However, some symbols can be used to create specific formatting or insert special elements (like images or tables) into the page. | |||
As a simple example, writing <code><nowiki>''example''</nowiki></code> into the editing area (that's two pairs of the apostrophe symbol <code>'</code>, not the double-quote symbol <code>"</code>) will result in the following stylized text: ''example'' | |||
For a full list of such styling options, see the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting MediaWiki help page on Formatting], and also see the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links MediaWiki help page on linking] to see how you create links within the text. | |||
=== What topics are OK to write about? === | |||
Anything you think is relevant to feminism in some way, or which you think other feminists might appreciate knowing more about, is an acceptable topic and might be deserving of its own page. | |||
It should be obvious from the [[Main Page]] that the FeministWiki is primarily intended for classical and radical feminist ideologies, and the member base will correspond to that. As such, you don't have to worry about liberal/queer feminists taking offense at your writing. However, if there is a topic that's likely to be contentious or divisive among classical or radical feminists, please be careful when writing about it so as not to create unnecessary friction. After all, we all want the FeministWiki to be a comfortable space for its members. | It should be obvious from the [[Main Page]] that the FeministWiki is primarily intended for classical and radical feminist ideologies, and the member base will correspond to that.

== | Also, try not to create pages for very narrowly focused topics. Remember that it's supposed to be like an encyclopedia, and not like a blog (or Facebook or Twitter). | ||
== Communication with other editors == | |||
Since a wiki hosts community-curated content, it's crucial for editors to communicate with each other, especially when there's disagreement on the content of a page. | |||
Every page on the FeministWiki has an associated Discussion page, also called a Talk page. If you make a change to an article, but the previous author objects and reverts the change, then you can write something on the discussion page of the article in question to start a discussion where you can exchange your views and come to a mutual agreement on how the content should be. For instance, you could ask on the discussion page why the previous author reverted the changes you made, then contact them to make sure they see your inquiry on the discussion page. | Every page on the FeministWiki has an associated Discussion page, also called a Talk page.
