What is ICANNWiki?

ICANNWiki is a grassroots, community effort to create and curate articles describing the people and organizations, terms and topics within the ICANN community. We actively seek worldwide collaboration to increase understanding of how policy is created for the continued development of the Internet, a tool which we all use everyday. In particular, we focus on the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and related international policy and management bodies.

What you can learn from this pamphlet

This guide will help you learn the ins and outs of ICANNWiki. Specifically, it will teach you how to add and edit ICANNWiki articles, as well as how to:

Navigate the wiki. - ICW and its MediaWiki software platform are user-friendly, but require an understanding of the mark-up language and mechanics behind article creation.
Prepare before you edit. - ICW is driven by its thoroughly researched content that relies on wiki-based ethos to guide its tone, clarity and validity.
Understand the foundations of wiki culture and markup.
