Aroonn:Article ownership

From aroonn wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Unlike most wikis, the aroonn wiki allows users to "own" articles. Note that such "ownership" is by convention only - it does not grant any special rights, nor is it rigorously enforced.

If you want to "own" an article, create it as a subpage of your user page. If you are creating a purely personal project, then that is all you need to do - though you may, of course, add it to any appropriate categories, such as Category:ToDo. If, however, you are proposing a collaboration, then you should also add it to Category:Solicitations.

For example, if your username were Foo, then you would "own" the articles "User:Foo/Reasons to be cheerful" and "User:Foo/2014-02", but not the main namespace article "Foo is a troll". (If you were foolish enough to create the article "Foo:Namespace shenanigans", then you would be demoted to D-class.)

Note that users may not create articles in any namespace other than the main namespace or their own user page (or the corresponding talk pages). Note also that article names usually require sentence case, though subpages do not have this requirement.


Aroonn wiki policy pages

Contact an administrator

To contact another user, you would normally edit that users talk page. It is possible to contact some users by email, though not every user permits this. To contact an administrator, first find an administrator on the user list then contact them in the normal way.

In a severe emergency only, you may email an oversighter here.

Pages in the Aroonn: namespace
