Consumer Rights Wiki:How to help: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

Take a look at our [[Article Types|Article types]] page, familiarise yourself with the [[Consumer Action Taskforce:Editorial guidelines|Editorial Guidelines]], as well as [[Wiki Content Policies|our content policies]] and [[Consumer Action Taskforce:Style guide|Style guide]], then pick a topic from the video list and get to it! We don't expect there to be a clean '1 video = 1 article' translation. Instead, the information from the videos should be combined with outside sources to contribute to articles about the incidents, entities, and themes discussed in the video. Please remember to update the video page with links to any articles you write, in order to help us avoid duplication. At this early stage of the Wiki, don't worry about creating stubs, or starting an article with the intention to allow yourself or someone else to finish it at a later date. Right now our main focus is on putting pen to paper, and getting the Wiki populated.

The MediaWiki article creation process is easy enough, but somewhat counterintuitive: '''to make an article, search for the name of that article in the search bar, and then click the red link. This will take you to an empty page, which you can then create.'''

If you ever want to review or explore our policy documents, the 'CAT policy index' on the wiki sidebar will take you to an overview of all our current official policies. This will be kept updated and will generally be the go-to place for our documentation.
