HacDC Wiki:Cleanup 2012

From HacDC Wiki

Revision as of 00:45, 29 March 2012 by NickS (talk | contribs) (→‎Goal: adding the goal)

Hey all, here's a staging ground to organize our cleanup of the wiki.

We can talk about ideas in the talk page (click the "discussion" tab above) without spamming the mailing list.

On this non-talk page we should put agreed-on rules, tips, links, etc.

Goal

We have lots of outdated articles and information on the wiki. That's confusing to newcomers. We should update it or get rid of it.

Guidelines

Spam

You don't need to hesitate much about deleting spam when you come upon it. That's a wiki's self-cleaning mechanism. In fact, people manually deleting spam is the only reason Wikipedia isn't overrun by it!

If you come upon an article created by a spammer, ask an administrator to delete it (I'm not quite sure about the deletion rules on HacDC's wiki).

If you find spam inserted into an actual HacDC article, just undo the spammy edit. Go into the article's history by clicking the "history" tab, and click the "undo" link at the end of the edit description.
