There is plenty to do around the Wiki. Because we're just beginning this new project, we have lots of small things we need to fix and change to make our Wiki more whole. Here's a brainstorming-type list of things we need to do:
- Copy "How to" articles from Wikipedia: Wikipedia is the ultimate source of information for our project, because there are so many people working on that project. What we want to do is copy the "Policy" and "How to" pages from Wikipedia, because they've done such a great job in creating them. Head to the Repository of official How-to wisdom to see where we've begun. Then click on an article and look for red links. Then head over to Wikipedia and see if you can find the comperable article.
- Important: It is critical that, when copying ANYTHING from Wikipedia that you insert a warning that the data has been copied from Wikipedia. To do so, simply insert {{msg:WikipediaContent}} at the BOTTOM of the article.
- Edit Wikipedia Articles: Once articles have been copied over, be sure to edit them so they apply to our Wiki. Remove references to "Wikipedia" and replace them with "118Wiki," and so on.
