We’re doing something a bit different and holding a Q&A Session on Lemmygrad with ProleWiki!
Any question you have for ProleWiki, ask it here – nothing is off limits. What we do, how we work, our content, who we are… you can ask anything you want.
I know Lemmygrad is like our biggest stronghold (lol) but we’re doing this on Mastodon and Twitter soon so why not extend to the grad as well.
It will most likely be me answering. No time limit though, ask at any time!
Using Mediawiki as an editor is actually pretty easy, we even have a user guide now as a reference for when you need to do something but don’t know how. Even citing references is easy, you click a button on the editor and fill in the fields and it formats everything for you. There’s a visual editor available since a few years ago and thankfully we don’t have to use the archaic source editor anymore.
The first step regardless is requesting an account, everything else stems from there. If your account is approved you’ll be able to learn editing at your pace and ask in the discord for help when you don’t know how to do something, though the user guide should also help with that.
What kind of language do you mean? Like a programming language?
Thanks so much. As far as language goes I suppose it’s just references to things that I don’t really know the meaning of yet. I’ll figure it out by reading up on each word as needed though, so I think I’ll figure it out, I just need to set aside some time to actually do it.
Anyhow… Thanks for having the Q&A on here, it does significantly lower the barrier to ask more basic things like this. I’ll look into things as far as applying for an account, though it does look like I’ll have to read up quite a bit on the theory first (I have adhd so most of the things I know so far has mostly been from listening from others and just my own ideas on things as reading can sometimes be a challenge). I’ll get there eventually though, so I see it more as a long term project than something I need to rush.
