| | #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]].

| | |
| == 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.
| |
| | |
