Background

 * Harrell's site should have all the information you need for this task.
 * In the wiki language article = page. Every page you see on the wiki is an article and is called an article.
 * Categories are used to organize lots of articles. We have several categories on TGD wiki.  These categories include:  all school pages, a category for each class, a category for each conference, and a category for each sectional.
 * To add an article to a category you have to insert the category tag into the code. Here is the category tag:


 * It is standard to insert all category tags at the top of the page.
 * This does three things:
 * 1) If this is the first time that this category is used, it will automatically create a category page.
 * 2) Adds a link on the bottom of the article to the category page.
 * 3) Adds the new "member article"-(a "member article" is a page that is a "member" of category) to the list on its respective category page.
 * In the "special pages," in the toolbox, there is a page called " Categories." This is a list of all categories who have member articles.

Steps

 * 1. Add this to your signature on the forum (if you want).  Kind of like free advertising!
 * [url=http://gridirondigest.info][img]http://forum.gridirondigest.net/uploads/info-gd.gif[/img][/url]
 * Resulting in: [img]http://gridirondigest.net/uploads/info-gd.gif[/img].  The code will make a link as well.


 * 2. If a page is mentioned on another page, it is a Wiki standard to link to the aforementioned page.  This helps to create a sense of community and it also makes the site more easily navigated.  An example of when you should do this is when one school is mentioned on another page.


 * 3. Clear out "old" info in your conference's school pages and your conference page.  You can either create a new section in the "History" section of the article, or create a new page (to create a new page, you just make a link...see the help section if you need it) and move the old 2006 information onto the new page.  It may be a good idea to keep the general information pertaining to 2006, so there is a historical record of what sectional they were in, the head coach, what conference they were in, etc...  You can be creative here if you want!


 * 4. Add your signature (using  tildes:  ~, resulting in:  Hhpatriot04 02:19, 28 February 2007 (EST)) on the conference pages you edit.  (There is also an "Insert Signature" button on the editor toolar...the one that looks like hand-writing.  This does three things:  signs your work, timestamps your work, and creates a link to your own personal Wiki page.  Take a look at  TW's page for a good :example of what a user page is for.


 * 5. Recruit more users and volunteers!  (Honestly the more people we have helping us, the less work we have to do!)  I may add some more things to Task 1, or even make a Task 2 depending on how this goes.  If you have questions or concerns send me a PM!  Thanks for your help!
