Note of the Day

  • Keep up the great work guys. I think it would be ok to slack on the course info and prof info in light of non-academically-geared information. Or you can just keep up with the academic stuff.

Start Editing

  • Like to take photos? That is great. ConnWiki wants photos for everything. Already have one? Then Upload it right away.
  • Here is a list of the Wanted Pages. These pages have the most links to them, but lack any content at all. Obviously people want 'em, so why don't you help make 'em?
  • You could also help find a way to link back to these Orphaned Pages. They need some pages to link to them, so that people can find them.
  • Here are the Uncatagorized Pages, as well as the Uncategorized Categories. Fill in the info, and make it easier to navigate this site.
  • Finally, you could try to fill in some of the Stub pages. These have some basic info, but are very incomplete:

Start Browsing

Here are some pages that are basically indexes of other pages, which will help you find things:

Also, almost every page is included in some Category, so if you check that list it is probable the page you are looking for is there, presuming it exists.

Advanced Browsing

  • If you didn't know, the Recent Changes page is a wonderful one to check periodically to keep up to date about what's going on with the Wiki. It's my home page. But that's just because I'm a ConnWiki dork. But you can be one too if you try hard enough...
  • Additionally, if you use an Syndicated feed aggregator (ie RSS), you can subscribe to the RSS Feed for the Recent Changes page.
  • You can always use the "what links here" link in the "toolbox" to the left of screen to backlink from articles. This is an extremely useful navigation tool, that I'm beginning to wish I could use on the whole damn internet.
  • If you're really stuck on where to find new pages, check out the list of all pages.

Advanced Editing

  • Some pages are awfully short. They could use some lengthening. Here's the list: Short Pages.
  • Flesh out Department pages with profs, major/minor descriptions, and class links.
  • Required books for courses: Look at Anthropology 102 for formatting. Just enter the ISBN, and MediaWiki will do the magic.
  • Local Geography: especially shopping stuff and restaurants. Directions and hours along with a short description and whatever else you think is necessary, with a little external link at the bottom is what I'm thinking now, but be creative. Target has a VERY basic format. Also, try to use the pages for local towns such as New London or Waterford as contents pages.
  • If you have any non-classified information or documents that might be useful to anyone in the college community, please find ways to put them up on ConnWiki. The more useful we are, the better. For an example, look at the Sample Constitution page.
