Help

• The help page which is an over view of editing a wiki. We have modified this a bit
• User preferences, watchlists, contributions. You don't absolutely need to go here, but..
• Guidelines for contributors
• Some step by step help pages.
  • Adding a page, there is no new page button but it is easy to create a new page

• Story Formats -
  • Tips and Tricks for adding and editing a story
  • Suggested story formats for contributors
• Contribution guidelines - dos and don't.

• Still uncomfortable guides

Site Development

• Navigation aids
• Templates - special wiki feature. Can be used to create a box of links to related subjects.
  • Template_examples a place to see examples and copy code
  • Template guide for techies
  • Stories page has an example on the right
  • Templates can also be used to present standard information with the use of variables. For example, imagine a FON group is similar to a State, then there would be a block with the State Flag, date entered into the union, size, picture of state, population and other standard information. There would be 1 template for 50 states.
• Categories - these are links to special pages, the links appear at bottom of the page. The special page creates an alpha list of every page which contains a link to the special page. It is possible to place more than one catagory link on a single page. For example the Story category is here.
• Footers - areas of a page that can be formatted differently across the FONwiki
• Roles - permission levels
  • Administrator(s) aka site administrator or super-user, (admin)
  • Contribution editor(s), ability to do a bit more than a contributor,
  • Contributors, must have username and password assigned by admin.
  • Guests, people who can view the site. Possible not to allow guests to get pass the main page
• Blank and other common images

Other

• Copyright. Issue for contributors and FON board to work out
• Contact information
• Conflict resolution - probably editor's word is final, hopefully not a big issue.
  • Includes cross cultural awareness. Remember the postcard
