Getting Started
If you're new to creating and/or editing wiki pages, contributing to PortlandWiki might look somewhat intimidating at first glance. Particularly if such geeky-sounding terms as Wiki markup, Wikitext, CamelCase,[1] User talk, Namespace[2] and so on come off sounding like what robots babble to each other when they're talkin' dirty.[3]
Never fear! There's no need for you to learn how to abuse language like a potty-mouth android. Here are a few links to resources that can help you get started:
- Again, are you new to wiki writing? Maybe PortlandWiki's Wiki Page Basics (also known as Help:Editing) is the best place to begin.
- A good place to ask for help from one of PortlandWiki's volunteer maintainers is the Community Portal Discussion page. Or, if you prefer to ask a specific user individually, you can leave a note on her or his user talk page and she or he will receive it upon logging into PortlandWiki.
- Want to learn more about PortlandWiki from actual living humans? Come to our next wiki edit meet-up (also known as Monday Meets). Check out the schedule for upcoming times and locations.
- For list of all PortlandWiki help pages, see Category:Help.
