Advice for editors

Don't be afraid

Clicking the 'Edit' button on a wiki article can be intimidating. You may feel like you do not have the best knowledge or expertise to edit a article or you may feel scared about making a mistake. This is normal! This wiki is edited by volunteers and we are all learning, making mistakes, and growing together. Mistakes can be fixed, articles can be deleted or moved, and lost information can be retrieved. If you are still unsure about making an edit, do it anyways!

Create an article

If you want to create a article that doesn't exist you can use the

<inputbox> type  = create width = 30px    break = no placeholder = Page title useve=true </inputbox>

For advanced information on creating articles, see the MediaWiki 'Help' article.

Improve an article

Improving an existing article is a great way to learn about editing while helping the wiki. If you see that an article that needs improvement don't ask "why is nobody is making these edits?", you are the nobody.

  • Pick an article that covers a topic you know about or are interested in.
  • Check the Recent changes list to see what other articles volunteers are working
  • Correct spelling and grammar in an article
  • Add your experiences and knowledge about organising to help other volunteers
  • If an article makes unsourced factual statements that don't seem like common knowledge, look for a source and add it.

Style guide

  • See the wiki's Style guide for advice on how to layout an article, use shared grammar, reference articles, and more.

To-do list

  • Check the wiki's General to-do list if you want to help contribute to the wiki but are unsure with how to help.
