'''ProductWiki''' is a [[:Category:Web|web]]-based {{tag|Products|product}} {{tag|information}} {{tag|resource}}, written by real [[:Category:People|people]] from all around the [[:Category:Earth|world]]. We're a [[wiki]], which is a kind of website where every [[user]] can also be a contributor to the site. Our goal is to create a comprehensive information resource that covers all products in depth. We strongly believe that there needs to exist an {{tag|NPOV|unbiased}}, accurate and {{tag|community}}-based resource for product information. Currently we're focusing on {{tag|English}} content and products released in {{tag|North America}}, however there is the occasional {{tag|Europe}} or {{tag|Japan}} only product, and we hope to become [[:Category:Global|global]] as the project grows. ProductWiki is {{tag|open content}}, which means we don't own the content - anybody can use the information on the site in any way they want to, {{tag|commercial}} or otherwise, as long as they give credit to us as the source. There are a few things to keep in mind when using ProductWiki. Right now we're still pretty early in the project. Products are beginning to amass, but we're far from being an all encompassing resource. Therefore we're asking for your help: if you find the product you're looking for or a product you really like is missing from our website, add it. You might just be surprised when you get some feedback from users who have or want information too. Product information and categorization is a difficult problem, and is one of the reasons why doing product research can be such a difficult thing to do. Through concentrated focus and efforts, both from a {{tag|social}} angle working with the community, and a {{tag|technical}} approach through advanced [[:Category:Software development|software development]] we'll be able to solve these problems and make researching products a far less painful ordeal. The community is here to help. So if you have any problems doing research, or making a {{tag|Trade|purchasing}} decision, just ask (start a discussion or comment on a product page) and there's a good chance you'll get your {{tag|Answers|answer}}. If you want to help out with the project the community will also be more than happy to help you ease into the process. Again, [[be bold]] and just start contributing and collaborating. If you have questions on how to contribute, feel free to join our [[Archive.org:20160802075507/http://www.ProductWiki.com/home/article/official-productwiki-chat-channel.html|chat]] and ask. ;What you can do on ProductWiki Don't be afraid of making changes to ProductWiki and don't be intimidated by contributing. There are many different ways to make your mark on the project with very simple actions that just take a click of the mouse, to more advanced [[edit]]s that alter the entire structure of the site. Here's a short list: *Review products using our [[Archive.org:20160526222044/http://www.ProductWiki.com/home/article/collaborative-reviews.html|Collaborative Reviews]] thumb *Comment on products *Create lists of products as: love, want or have, or any other tag you choose (for example - 25th birthday, cd collection, top 5 movies) *Publish your list of products on your blog with images *Search for products using different criteria to narrow your search - if you're looking for a dress, you can further narrow down the field by selecting a "strapless dress, that is also knee-length". *Write {{tag|reviews}}, buying {{tag|guide}}s or rants *Ask questions, {{tag|Answers|answer}} questions, have discussions *Add products - any product can be added to ProductWiki, if the category doesn't exist you can create it! We also encourage self-promotion, so if you make a product that you want to sell, add it to ProductWiki (although we have some [[Archive.org:20160526222106/http://www.ProductWiki.com/home/article/how-to-use-productwiki-for-promotion.html|guidelines]] to follow first) *Add links to ProductWiki that might be useful - product reviews, manufacturer's homepage, or blog posts ;How you can contact ProductWiki e-mail contact@productwiki.com<br> Phone 519-342-2874}} ;''References <References/> ;''External links *[https://Twitter.com/productwiki ProductWiki Twitter feed]
