Creating a New Page
Creating a new page is done by adding the desired destination to the end of the ICANNWiki.com URL; so, in order to create a page for Apple, you would add the desired destination (the "Apple" page) to the end of http://icannwiki.com/index.php/ - so it would become http://icannwiki.com/index.php/Apple - you then have the option of creating the page by entering text and saving it. Importing either the Company Template or the People Template
Creating Neutral Content
- Write from a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)
- Do not include promotional material; the point is to educate not sell
Licensing
- It is ok to use images that are in the public domain or under a creative commons license. It is also ok to use company logos.
- It is also ok to use content from ICANNWiki.org (the older version of this site), but much of it has been written from a promotional point of view and will need to be converted to NPOV.
- Do not copy text or images from other websites; writing must be original. Read, understand, and then create your own content.
Linking
- Using an internal link is always good, so, as an example, instead of defining an acronym like this "ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)", just use "[[ICANN]]" and then we'll define ICANN on that page.
