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

Motivation[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 And learn to write in ways that don't quickly become outdated.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.
  - https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Special:ConfirmAccounts/authors&wpShowHeld=0
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.
