Sustainable Community Action:Contribute

[edit] Help out

[edit] Help out with what interests you most

One of the really good things about helping out a wiki such as this is that there are plenty of options for you to choose from. Do what you'd most like to help with, help out as and when you can, and always at your own pace. Be bold and jump right in.

As long as it's relevant to what this wiki is about, you can contribute to different types of information:

• about places
• about topics
• news, events
• resources, photos, images

• information to help develop this community
• Comment - either via the Forum or via the Comment section (for more substantial articles). Either start with your own comment or respond to someone else's.
• fun stuff
• Inspiring Quotes
• even videos

• contribute a Random fact
• linking things up
• updates
• checking external links
• spelling and punctuation

[edit] Play and have fun!

• sandbox - don't forget you can use this to play, experiment, test things out.

Most of all - Enjoy, have fun !! - and please contribute something.

[edit] Help out - 2

• improve an existing article
  • Help:Getting around - to find the articles you might be most interested to help with
  • New pages
  • Random page
  • Help with an introduction
• Make some wanted pages - red links on articles throughout the wiki lead to pages without any content as yet

• contribute a Quick Note - if working out 'where' to put something can seem a little daunting at first
• help publicise the Sustainable Community Action Wiki and to attract more contributors
• Help find requested photos
• add to short pages or Stubs
• Update some old pages

• create some internal links on Dead-end pages - see also help:Getting around
• create some links to Orphaned pages
• check external links, for example on LS Ideas Bank pages, see example
• put geographic info into a consistent order - international first then more localised
• editing down or summarising excessively long pages

[edit] Open tasks for more experienced users

Although tasks are open to all, some may be easier for more experienced users or users who've developed some familiarity with this wiki.

• categorise articles
• categorise categories
• categorise images
• tag images
• archiving the most out-of-date material
• help us develop a manual of style
• Guidelines and poliicies - Because we're still fairly new we try to keep formal poilicies to a minimum and rely more on guidelines. You might want to offer your thoughts and suggestions on our guidlines and policies so far.
