Create a New Page

To create a new page, just put a title into the address bar e.g.: https://getlibre.org/wiki/index.php?title=Example

...then when the page isn't found, you just click the "edit this page" link, save, and voila it's a new page.

After creating a new page, please add a link on the Main Page.

Content

For Societies, and when possible for communities, try to use the following headings:

Culture, Decisions, Economy, Environment, Crime, Revolution (if applicable), Neighboring Societies. These are based on the chapters of Anarchy Works.

While we hope to eventually have primarily original articles, it is fine to make an article based on a passage from a book, article or website as long as you cite the source.

Create a New Heading

Write =...- to make a heading, ==...== to make a sub-heading, and so on.

To link outside the wiki, type [...]</nowiki> or click the chain links in the toolbar.

Citations

Rationale

When editing this wiki, it is important to keep track of the origin of the text that you add. Contributing from other sources, such as books, articles, and websites, is encouraged. However, you must be careful to cite the original source. Good citations allow users of this wiki to sort out information and opinions added to the wiki and decide how reliable that information is.

When gathering from books, articles, and websites, just jot down basic information about the source. Then add that to the wiki when you save your edit. It doesn't have to be very detailed, but more detail is always helpful. The important thing is that other users will be able to figure out where the text came from so that they can get to it if they want to.

To make a footnote, type <ref>...</ref> around each footnote.

Then, type <references/> at the end of the page.

Books

At least keep track of the author, title, the year it was published and the page number. Here is the suggested format:

Ursula K. LeGuin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia (New York: HarperCollins, 1974), 175-176.

Articles

If you copy text from printed or online articles or newspapers, include the name of the magazine or newspaper and the article date.

Suggested format:

Mark Mazzeti, "C.I.A. Study of Covert Aid Fueled Skepticism About Helping Syrian Rebels", New York Times, 14 October 2014.

This wiki

It you're citing another page on this wiki, just paste a link in the footnote. Suggested format:

Athenian polis, "Decisions"

Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a helpful section about citing its articles. Wikipedia also provides a tool to generate citations for particular articles. For the cite tool, see Wikipedia:Citing_sources, or follow the "Cite this page" link in the toolbox on the left of the page in the article you wish to cite.

Websites

At least paste the URL. The date you accessed it is also helpful. Here is the suggested format:

Anarchy On Air. “Who the Heck Are We?” Last modified 2014. http://anarchyonairwesu.tumblr.com/about.
