Towers:Contributions

Categories: Help

This is a collaborative work. Adam works best when he can share ideas and discuss things that he is working on. If you want to help him be productive and creative, the best thing you can do is share your thoughts with him.

Here are the ways you can help. All of them require you to register and log in. Note the copyright policy.

Discussion

Hopefully, as you read through these pages, your mind will spin with ideas and questions. You should share those thoughts! This lets Adam know that you're reading his pages, thinking about them, and excited about the project. Surely you have creative ideas to share or questions about material that needs clarification.

Notice the discussion tab at the top of every page (in the monobook skin, at least). Every page has its own discussion board. The board is just another page that everyone edits and shares. To add a discussion thread, click the little + sign next to edit, or just click edit and add your thoughts on the page.

You can indent a paragraph by putting a : on the line in front of it. You can indent more than one level by putting more :'s in front of it. ::: will indent the paragraph three tabs.

You should sign and date every discussion you post. Wiki offers a shortcut for this. You can just put ~~~~ (four tildes) and when you save the page, it will replace those characters with your username and the date and time.

Adam promises to respond to each and every comment.

Ideas

You may have ideas that don't relate to any existing page. Create a new page and link to it from the Ideas section on the front page! Write whatever you want in your new page and Adam and others can discuss it.

Sometimes Adam asks the contributors to help flesh something out. Feel free to edit pages where you see fit.

Edits

Adam makes mistakes all the time. If you see a typo, bad grammar, a factual error, or something that just needs to be fixed, feel free to edit the page. Adam will see the correction on the recent changes page and can review it.

Never be afraid to break anything. Every version of every page that is created, deleted, or modified is stored in a source control system. That means anyone can revert an unintentional change back to the old version.
