Topic Wiki

A wiki is a list of instructions, advice or information.
It can be edited by others, who click 'edit wiki'.

Write up instructions on you given/ volunteered topic as if you were teaching it to someone.  As if you were walking him through it. It being whatever your topic is.

To include all the relevant info, go through the entire thread taking notes and adding anything new and important to your word document 'scrap paper'.

Then write it up in clear, simple language.

Wikify DDF Project
« on: October 17, 2013, 04:26:27 PM »
Lots of noobs understandably have trouble reading through long threads.

Let's nominate a thread a day here to create and perfect the wiki for that thread.
Between a few senior members contributing we can have lots of massive threads wikified in short order.

Who wants to start us off for today with a suggestion?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Won't it make it more complicated by having to search a separate site? Rather make it stickied to the top of each topic.

+1 If the point is helping newbies, making a separate site won't do anything. Not to mention the fact that such a site exists already as pointed out in my previous FTFH

I volunteer to wikify the Southwest Companion Pass thread.

You might want to pin the daily post to be wiki'd to the top.

That was the point, if you didn't know about it how would a newbie find out?

If the separate wiki is expanded, maybe a blurb should be put on every DDF page directing to the main wiki site.
