EnviroWiki for environmental organisations and initiatives
EnviroWiki aims to be a tool for those already involved with the growing environmental movement by providing a space for them to share what they are up to with those around them. The hope is that as well as reaching out to new audiences, EnviroWiki will also be used for sharing best practice and seeking out overlap.
Because of its wikiness, EnviroWiki allows for individual initiatives to keep the information about their activities accurate and up-to-date. The more you tend your EnviroWiki content, the more people will return.
Getting started
- First, register or log in. For help registering see Help:Registering and logging in
- Next, find out whether an entry or category for your organisation already exists, either by searching for it in the search box (left) or by exploring existing EnviroWiki content.
- If you are pretty sure no entry or category exists, the first thing to do is to create an EnviroWiki entry for your organisation. See here for help with Creating a new EnviroWiki entry and for help with categories
- For help getting to grips with basic wiki language and formatting, see Help:Basic formatting. For other step by step guides to using EnviroWiki, see Help:Step by step guides.
What to include
- The name of your organisation and where you are based
- A description of your activities
- Details of how others can contact you
- A link to your website or more information
- Links to other relevant EnviroWiki entries
Where to put it
Please make sure that you file all entries and categories into one or more (other) categories, to stop them from getting lost.
- Add your organisation's entry to the top category, Category:Organisations and initiatives by adding the tag [[Category:Organisations and initiatives]] somewhere on the page.
For more help, see Help:Categories.
- If your organisation is relevant to a particular town or postal area, search or browse for the most applicable one and add the correct category tag to your entry.
For more details on what is meant by 'category tags' and help learning how to add your entry to a category, see Help:Categories.
