Using the Wiki! In anger & in hope[edit | edit source]

Introduced someone to the wiki.

Write, make webpages, but wiki is a separate thing, culturally.

Chat apps support short term memory. The wiki supports long-term memory.

We still need to clean it up. And learn to write in ways that don't quickly become outdated.

I write about my own philosophy in the space, how I act in the space, on my User subpages on the wiki. (Even this presentation).

Edit a page (you can do it signed out)
Make an account.
- Anti-spam measures. Ask anyone for help. We admin real users. Real users can confirm accounts. But still get lots of spam.

Fix up pages that you use. Upload meeting notes. Meetings
Learn wikitext, mw:Help:Formatting.
- Convert from markdown to wikitext. https://pandoc.org/try/ markdown to mediawiki formats.
Update your User:usename page. Search mw: for Special:My... pages.
- Talk on your talk page and other users' talk pages

Write history. And help others. Including your future self.
