Wiki structure
This wiki is set up with an organizational system intended to be easy for visitors to understand and easy for HOPE's wiki team to maintain. For instance, you will find all articles specific to The Next HOPE under the subdirectory TNH/ and most established reoccurring projects at HOPE under the Project/ subdirectory (e.g. Radio Statler, AMD, etc).
Should you contribute any articles that this wiki needs, please make sure to put them in the proper locations. It makes our lives easier and everyone else will have an easier time finding your contributions.
Finding and building wikipages
To find articles here, all you need to do is use the input field in the sidebar. Whether you know the exact title or just some text from an article, you'll probably get what you're looking for.
To create a wikipages all you need is to use the same input box to enter the title the article that you make and then click on the red create this page link. Please see the above section for the proper placement of articles. Also, please make sure that any newly created article is linked to/from at least one (relevant) article.
Incomplete articles
You will find incomplete articles (in need of expansion) labeled as Stubs. Important pages can occasionally be left missing many important portions of what is needed. That's something you can easily fix by checking in on the stubs category to see what articles may need some love & care.
Editing wikipages
When editing any page, please put leave a few words in the summery box too. It helps everyone following you navigate all the edits and easily see what's going on. Just above the save and preview button, you'll see a small input box labeled "Summary". It will already have a name of the page section that you're editing in between slashes. All you need to do is add some description after it. The description need only be something simple like "Spell fix", "Add a link for [blah]", or "Expanded the last sentence into its own paragraph". Also, small edits that don't change the content --such as spelling edits-- and edits that don't change the page's layout very much should get the minor edit checkbox checked off.
