This Wiki is supposed to be a contact point for people who don't know much, or anything about the Fediverse yet.
#REDIRECT [[Portal:About]]
 
So especially the [[Main Page]], [[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.
 
== Mediawiki ==
 
The software this Wiki uses is Mediawiki, the same software Wikipedia uses.
 
Consult the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.
 
== Style guide ==
 
''Main article: [[Meta:Style guide]]
 
Here we gather how we write things.
 
E.g. Fediverse projects:
 
{| class="wikitable"
!First letter in upper case
!CamelCase
!all lower case
|-
|
*Mastodon
*Lemmy
*Pixelfed
*Funkwhale
|
*WriteFreely
*PeerTube
|
*lemmur
|}
 
== Advocacy guide ==
 
''Main article: [[Meta: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.
