WikiIndex:Add a Wiki: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:30, 8 March 2010

Anyone can add a page to WikiIndex to describe a wiki website (what this site is about). Follow these simple steps:

Step 1 – Check if it's already listed here

Find the correct name of the wiki.

Use the search feature in the left side menu to check if the wiki is already listed here. We already have quite a big index. Try some alternate names of your wiki (e.g. with or without the word wiki on the end). If you find it, there's no need to add it again, just edit the existing information!

Step 2 - Create the Wiki page

if needed...
Type the name into the edit field and press the button, you will be transferred to a newly created wikipage. Fill in there what you know and save the page.

Or, if the page exists, then copy the boilerplate from here:

Template:Wiki Boilerplate

Step 3 – Upload or hotlink the logo

To put a logo on the wiki description page...

You must login or create an account login before you can upload an image
Click on the "Upload file" link in the lower left hand toolbox
Locate your logo file using the browse button
Upload the file
Copy the page name of the image page
Replace "Image:NoLogo.png" in the code above with your image page name
Save the page

On the other hand, if you don't want to login to wikiindex and know the Logo URL you can hotlink to that logo using this url in the field logo.

Note: if you upload an image that starts with a lower case character, this first character is automatically converted to upper case. The server is case sensitive. So prepare to link to "Logoxyz.gif" when you've actually uploaded "logoxyz.gif".

An alternate way to put a logo on the wiki description page is described at WikiProject:Logos.

Optional – categorizing

-'''Background Information'''
+__NOTOC__
+Anyone can add a page to WikiIndex to describe a wiki website ([[WikiIndex:About|what this site is about]]).  Follow these simple steps:
-In 2009 the total population of Pakistan was estimated to be about 176,242,949 (July 2009 est.) with the average annual inter-censual growth rate at 1.87% per annum (estimates for 2005), placing it at seventh among the most populous nations in the world. Of the total population only 30% resides in urban areas.
+== Step 1 – Check if it's already listed here ==
+Find the correct name of the wiki.
-According to most recent census the literacy rate is 54%, this becomes remarkably low in rural areas. Pakistan has very sound geographical location, agriculutural land and has rich human and natural resources, but theses resources were not utilized properly since from the inception of Pakistan. There could be many factors behind what I personally think that;
-Pakistan was established on the ideology of Islam, and it was the main theme of independence moment that Islam will be the our supreme law and way of life, but unfortunately we have not followed that and went behind the earthly powers and that resulted in the curse of Allah in the form of corrupt leaders, social injustice and corruption in almost all spheres of life.
+Use the search feature in the left side menu to check if the wiki is already listed here. We already have quite a big index. Try some alternate names of your wiki (e.g. with or without the word wiki on the end). If you find it, there's no need to add it again, just edit the existing information!
- In last few years due to these conditions becomes quite drastic, especially terrorism has destroyed the whole social setups and economy that has put the ordinary people in real test. If we evacuate all these factors we need to judge our actions, that where we are wrong and what could be the solution of these problems.
+== Step 2 - Create the Wiki page ==
+'''if needed...'''<br>
+Type the name into the edit field and press the button, you will be transferred to a newly created wikipage. Fill in there what you know and save the page.
-'''“Ma’arij initiative”''' is one of the ideas to play our any role to help the suffering people. Especially those called “Safaid Posh”(who do not ask anyone). This will include people from all walks and any part of Pakistan.Prefrence will be given to disabled, Hemophiliacs, HIV infected/affected or anybody else.

-We are not an NGO, CBO or any charity organization; we are just a group of people who is trying to perform their human and religious duty to help our brothers/sisters with our available resources.
+Or, if the page exists, then copy the boilerplate from here:
-A small amount One Lakh (10,0000)(this amount will be flexible) will be provided in the beginning as “Qarze Hasnah” to run a small business, whatever he/she wish to do. We will not expect anything from him/her for first six months of business, after that if his/her business runs into profit, he/she can give 5% of his/her monthly income to “Independence Fund”, in this way he/she is expected to pay back his Qarze Hasnah in quite reasonable time of his/her life. After paying Qarze Hasnah if he/she wills he/she can continue this contribution for many other deserving people.
