-	~~The following pages may answer your questions about the wiki:~~	+	{{RightTOC}}
-	* [[~~Help~~:~~Editing\|Editing~~]] ~~- how~~ to ~~edit an article~~	+	== 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]],<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase CamelCase]</ref> [[User talk]], [[Namespace]]<ref>[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace Manual:Namespace]</ref> and so on come off sounding like what robots babble to each other when they're talkin' dirty.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WTF%3F_OMG!_TMD_TLA._ARG! Wikipedia:WTF? OMG! TMD TLA. ARG!]</ref>

-	~~If these pages don~~'~~t answer your questions,~~ a ~~good place to ask for the time being is [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal]]~~ - a ~~page for talking about the wiki and asking questions. Or, if you prefer~~ to ~~ask a specific user individually,~~ you ~~can leave a note on their user talk page which they will see the next time they log in.~~	+	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:

-	~~For list of all help pages, see~~ [[:~~Category~~:Help]].	+	* [[Help:Editing]]
		+	:Again, are you new to wiki writing? Maybe PortlandWiki's [[Help:Editing\|Wiki Page Basics]] (also known as [[Help:Editing]]) is the best place to begin.

		+	* [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal\|Community Portal]]
		+	:A good place to ask for help from one of PortlandWiki's volunteer maintainers is the [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal\|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.
		+
		+	* [[Monday Meets]]
		+	:Want to learn more about PortlandWiki from actual living humans? Come to our next [[Monday Meets\|wiki edit meet-up]] (also known as [[Monday Meets]]). Check out the [[Monday Meets\|schedule]] for upcoming times and locations.

PortlandWiki:Policies

WikiMaster — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 22:27:25 GMT

-	'~~'Project yourself into the future~~ and ~~squint your eyes a bit~~, and ~~this page will be vibrant~~ and ~~relevant~~. ~~For now, just go make some edits! :-)''~~	+	{{RightTOC}}
		+	== OMG!! Not more damn policies!! ==
		+	PortlandWiki's aim is to develop community-driven policies that are arrived at through proposals, discussion and some measure of consensus. Our expectation is that policies are not necessarily set in stone, but are those the community can modify and adapt as PortlandWiki grows and evolves.

-	~~PortlandWiki~~'s ~~policies are wiki-wide general rules~~ that the community ~~have arrived at through proposals~~ and discussion~~. Policies~~ are ~~not set in stone~~, ~~but can be adapted~~ and ~~modified over time by~~ the ~~community~~.	+	=== Policy focus ===
		+	The most "focused" policy (although some might argue it's neither terribly focused nor much of a policy) to emerge so far is the intent to make PortlandWiki a genuine [[Voice of Portland\|voice]] for the entire community of people that call the [[Portland\|City of Portland]] home. To get a sense of the kind of community resource PortlandWiki aims to strive for, the [[Voice of Portland]] and [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal\|Community Portal discussion]] pages are good places to start. While there, please feel encouraged to add your voice too.
		+
		+	Please also consider attending one of our weekly PortlandWiki [[PortlandWiki:Monday Meets\|edit meetings]], currently happening each Monday evening at either the [[Backspace]] or [[Blitz Pearl]] cafes. Check the [[PortlandWiki:Monday Meets\|Monday Meets]] schedule for times and locations.
		+
		+	=== But you don't have to wait. Start now. ===
		+	Of course you always establish a PortlandWiki account and get started right away! In fact, you don't even need to sign up for a PortlandWiki account to get started. New to writing wiki pages? If so, why not take a peek at our [[Help:Editing\|wiki basics]] page? There we offer a few tips you can use to create a fairly full-featured PortlandWiki page.
		+
		+	But don't worry about feeling like you have to include every page element shown on the [[Help:Editing\|wiki basics]] page. Just do what you can, and who knows? Maybe another PortlandWiki contributor will come along in short order and add to what you've started.

-	== ~~What is the "Voice of Portland"~~? ==	+	{{RightTOC}}
		+	== A Civic Symphony? ==

-	~~This page discusses~~ the "Voice of Portland" as defined by the PortlandWiki community of contributors. The goal is to identify and define specific attributes and characteristics that enable PortlandWiki to equitably and authentically represent the entire community of Portland, Oregon.	+	=== What is the "Voice of Portland"? ===
		+	Here we attempt to clarify the "Voice of Portland" as defined by the PortlandWiki community of contributors. The goal is to identify and define specific attributes and characteristics that enable PortlandWiki to equitably and authentically represent the entire community of Portland, Oregon.
		+
		+	This is a tall order and a tough challenge. Some consider Portland as having a relatively homogeneous culture (where "people of color" aren't as represented as much as in other medium and large cities in the United States, for instance). Even so, Portland is home to people who also inhabit a diverse set of distinct cultures, experiences, backgrounds, walks of life, religious beliefs (or lack thereof), political ideologies, social statures and so on.
		+
		+	=== How does a Civic Wiki accommodate so many voices? ===
		+	PortlandWiki will succeed at truly representing the entire Portland community by not losing sight of this goal as its primary mission. As PortlandWiki evolves, its contributors will need to refocus on how effectively or honestly its mission is maintained. Again, this is a tough challenge. And it's easy to cynically dismiss such challenges as unworkable or impossible.
		+
		+	== Choir Practices ==
		+	PortlandWiki was launched with the idea of becoming a sort of "Wikipedia for Portland" with a uniquely Portland flavor (versus a dry, encyclopedic style). The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragnet_%28series%29 "just the facts, ma'am"] style necessary for an encyclopedic knowledge base like Wikipedia is insufficient for any civic wiki striving to capture the authentic "flavor" of its community.
		+
		+	Some of the current discussion and planning for PortlandWiki is taking place on its [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal\|Community Portal discussion page]]. Please have a look, get involved and add your voice! We welcome your participation.

OMG!!

New page

== OMG!! Do I have to do ''[[Help:Editing|all that]]'' just to start a new page!?! ==
No. Of course not.

The wiki page elements shown on PortlandWiki's [[Help:Editing|editing help page]] are merely a few structural suggestions to help you get going. That said, our hope is to see all new and existing PortlandWiki pages become endowed with enough coherent content to make them at least minimally informative, useful and/or entertaining. If a page takes firm enough root, it can grow from there. So use your imagination and start editing! [[User:WikiMaster|WikiMaster]] ([[User talk:WikiMaster|talk]]) 18:36, 2 September 2010 (PDT)
