How to help improve the Wiki
Your best bet with wikis is always to reuse existing code in order to write better pages.
- See this discussion on pruning and improving our wiki pages.
- Integrate orphaned pages into the menu system by putting the appropriate { { guildmenutemplate } } at the top.
- Edit the menu you added it under with a link to it, especially if it is currently relevant or in a historical menu category like Lore.
- If it is historic, edit the main page in the submenu category with links to it under a Historic header at the bottom of the page instead of a menu link.
- Mark outdated pages with the { { historic } }(no spaces between curly braces) template.
- Mark parts of Noisebridge not fully constructed as { { construction } }
- Create new categories and embed their tags in a template with a visible box like those.
How to make the menus
- Use alphabetical link order if there isn't a specific flow that makes sense.
How the Wiki server is setup
