This Wiki is supposed to be a contact point for people who don't know much, or anything about the Fediverse yet.
 
<!--T:2-->
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 == <!--T:3-->

<!--T:21-->
Please:
* use gender-inclusive language

== Advocacy guide == <!--T:10-->
 
<!--T:11-->
''Main article: [[Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Advocacy guide|Advocacy guide]]
 
<!--T:12-->
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 == <!--T:13-->
 
<!--T:14-->
The software this Wiki uses is Mediawiki, the same software Wikipedia uses.
 
<!--T:15-->
