DIME Wiki Contributions

We encourage everyone to contribute their knowledge and experience to the DIME Wiki. This page provides resources detailing how to create and edit content. Note that DIME reserves the right to review edits.

Formatting and Style Guides

DIME Analytics has created the following resources:

• The DIME Wiki style guide, which provides basic formatting and editing guidelines for adding or editing content on the DIME Wiki
• A MediaWiki cheat sheet, which covers the basics of formatting for anyone who is new to MediaWiki.

Introduction to MediaWiki

DIME Wiki uses MediaWiki as its platform. All processes outlined on on MediaWiki (i.e. how to create and edit a page) are applicable to the DIME Wiki page as well. If you do not have any experience with Media Wiki, then you might consider starting with a video tutorial.

Creating a new page

Before creating a new page on the DIME Wiki, ensure that there are no existing pages in which your contributions could fit. If no relevant page currently exists, then you may create a new one in several ways. You can search for the new page; if the page does not exist, you will be offered to create it. You can also make an internal link to the page that does not exist yet. When you click the link to that page, you will be offered to create that page.
