;From Wikicities<br> | |||
Welcome to '''Wikicities'''.<br> | |||
Wikicities is a collection of [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]] run by various communities. A Wikicity is an informational site which anyone can [[edit]]. Every Wikicity runs on {{tag|MediaWiki}}, the same software used on many wikis, including [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. | |||
You can start a new Wikicity in [[:Category:Wiki Language|any language]] today, or help to edit an existing one from the [https://archive.ph/hntwI list of Wikicities]. | |||
Support on both the technical and social aspects of running a [[wiki community]] are provided. | |||
Wikicities are {{tag|Free wiki farm|hosted for free}} and supported by [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]]. Wikicities are [[:Category:OpenEdit|open to the public to edit]], although [[administrator]]s can choose to restrict editing of some pages using page protection. Wikicities are not owned by their [[founder]]s. They are run as community projects, and should strive towards [[consensus]] as the primary means for organizing their wikis. | |||
A Wikicity can be in any language and many languages already have full interface translations available. You can even request language sub-domains of one Wikicity. | |||
Wikicities operate on a shared-login system. This means you only need to create a [[username]] once, and you can edit any Wikicity. | |||
All of the content of Wikicities will be available under a [[:Category:Open content|free content]] [[:Category:Wiki License|licence]]. This means the information can be reused, not only in other Wikicities, but by anyone. | |||
All Wikicities are hosted on dedicated [[:Category:Linux|Linux]] servers using squid cache acceleration for high performance. Hosting includes [[:Category:Wiki Backups|site backups]], server administration, and site [[:Category:Statistics|Statistics]]. There is no limit to the size your Wikicity can be! | |||
===What is a wiki?=== | |||
A [[wiki]] is a website that allows [[user]]s to easily create pages and edit pages others have created. The [[:Category:Wiki syntax|markup]] is very simple and requires no knowledge of [[:Category:HTML|HTML]]. For example, surrounding a word with <nowiki>[[double square brackets]]</nowiki> will turn that word or group of words into a [[Wikilink|link]]. You can make text italicized just by surround the text with double ''<nowiki>''</nowiki>inverted commas<nowiki>''</nowiki>''. | |||
[[Edit]]ing is very easy to learn, and allows anyone to create a website. Every edit made to Wikicities is stored for as long as the Wikicity exists. This means you can easily [[Edit history|check which edits have been made]]. You can also easily remove bad edits as you can [[Revert|change back to an older version]] of the page. | |||
===Example Wikicities=== | |||
Local soccer league Wikicity | |||
:fans write about the teams, and analyze the games together. | |||
OurTown Wikicities | |||
:residents and visitors of a town collect local history information, details of local facilities and popular places to go in the town. | |||
Collectors clubs | |||
:are you an avid collector? Share details of your collection on a wiki, and collaborate with others in providing information about the objects you collect. | |||
Fan sites | |||
:get together with other fans of a television program, band, or anything else and gather information about that, share news of celebrity appearances, and more. | |||
