#REDIRECT [[Portal:About]]
This Wiki is supposed to be a contact point for people who don't know much, or anything about the Fediverse yet.
 
So especially the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Page|main page]], [[Special:MyLanguage/What is the Fediverse?|What is the Fediverse?]] and other [[:Category:Beginners guide|Beginners guides]] should be written in simple and easy to understand English. <br>
Other pages in the category [[:Category:Advanced]] are meant for advanced users, but should still be written as understandable as possible.
 
== Guidelines ==
 
Please don't remove text or heavily rewrite it before talking about it in the corresponding talk page.<br>
Please don't promote bigotry or "free speech" instances. <br>
If you're not sure what you're doing you can always first test it out in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Join the Fediverse:Playground|Playground]].
 
== Style guide ==
 
''Main article: [[Special:MyLanguage/Join the Fediverse:Style guide|Style guide]]
 
Example capitalization of Fediverse projects:
 
{| class="wikitable"
!First letter in upper case
!CamelCase
!all lower case
!special
|-
|
*Fediverse
*Mastodon
*Pleroma
*Lemmy
*Pixelfed
*Funkwhale
|
*WriteFreely
*PeerTube
*BookWyrm
*GoToSocial
*ActivityPub
|
*lemmur
|
* diaspora*
|}
 
The order of Fediverse projects in lists and tables should follow the order in [[Comparison of Fediverse software]].
 
== Translation guide ==
 
''Main article: [[Special:MyLanguage/Join the Fediverse:Translation guide|Translation guide]]''
 
Please:
* use gender-inclusive language
* only translate the English text & don't add information
 
== Advocacy guide ==
 
''Main article: [[Special:MyLanguage/Join the Fediverse:Advocacy guide|Advocacy guide]]
 
We want to advocate for the Fediverse and it's projects here, not write in a neutral tone like Wikipedia. <br>
On the [[:Category:Beginners guide | beginners pages]] we do that by highlighting the benefits of the Fediverse, without going in too much detail about the horrors of traditional social media. <br>
We can then go deeper in additional pages.
 
== Mediawiki ==
 
The software this Wiki uses is MediaWiki, the same software Wikipedia uses. [[Special:Version]] indicates the current version, which may differ from the version any Wikipedia is using.
 
Consult the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.

[[Special:SpecialPages|Pages with the "Special:" prefix]] can be reached from a menu item in the sidebar. They cannot be edited in the normal way, but many of them are most informative.
 
[https://joinfediverse.wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=8 Pages with the "MediaWiki:" prefix] affect the working and appearance of this wiki and can be edited only by administrators. Edit those only if you know what you are doing.
