Добро пожаловать в Вики!

Мы знаем, что сначала работать в Вики достаточно сложно, но мы здесь поможем тебе и убедимся, что у тебя всё получается! Есть много вещей, которые тебе нужно сделать, чтобы улучшить эту Вики. Ниже приведены 5 вещей, которые ты должен сделать, чтобы твоя работа в Вики была успешной.

1. Добавляй логотипы и иконки[]

A logo gives your wiki its identity. You will need to make two logos for your project: One for the Quartz skin (which most users will see), another for the older skins (like Monobook). Create your image in any image editing software (Paintbrush, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, Fireworks, Photoshop, etc.)

  • The logo for Quartz skin has to be 266 pixels wide and 75 pixels tall, and should be saved in the .png format with the filename wiki_wide.png.
  • The logo size for all other skins has to be no more than 135 pixels wide and 155 pixels tall, and should be saved in the .png format with the filename wiki.png.

If you need inspiration, check out the logos of Wikia's Popular wikis. If you would like help designing or creating a logo, please contact us -- we'd be happy to help!

To upload your logo, Click the "Upload file" link and save your logo with the "destination filename" wiki_wide.png or wiki.png.

Although it's a small thing (just 16 by 16 pixels) a custom favicon -- the tiny logo which appears in your browser's address bar and on your bookmarks -- can help give a consistent theme to the wiki. There are many favicon creation tools on the web which you can use to design one from scratch, or convert a larger image into a favicon.

Just upload a 16x16 .ico image with the "destination filename" favicon.ico. It may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours after uploading for the icon to appear on your site.

2. Украшай свою Заглавную страницу[]

First Impressions Count. Your Main Page is what everyone will see when they come so its important it clearly communicates what your wiki is about and what type of content you have and want people to add.

  • Write a short introduction on what the wiki is about.
  • Link to new articles and categories as you create them so you can keep things organized.
  • Create a "to do" list so new visitors know how they can help out.

Here are a few main pages we like: Muppet Wiki, BioShock Wiki, Lost Wikia.

3. Добавляй содержание![]

The most valuable thing you can do when you start a wiki and to write some articles. We call this "seeding". This will give people an idea of what your wiki will be about and give them something to start from. They don't have to be long or perfect. Remember its a wiki so it doesn't have to be perfect from the start.

You may need to add many articles before people start to join in -- don't get discouraged. The more content you add, the sooner the search engines and real people will find your site useful, and the quicker your small community will start to grow.

4. Создай свою страницу участника[]

Your user page is chance to tell people about your self, and add a friendly face to the wiki. You can keep it as simple as you want or go all out, the important thing is to give people a way to see "who" is behind this wiki.

5. Приглашай людей[]

Once you have completed steps 1-3, you are ready to open your wiki up for business. Invite your friends. Reach out to communities you already belong to, or related wikis on Wikia. Special Interest Forums are also a great place to find people passionate and willing to contribute Be careful not to spam, though! Think of the types of messages you would like to read and the types of messages you delete.

Keep an eye on Recentchanges, and when you see someone new edit the wiki, add a nice welcome message to their Talk page as soon as you can! Wikis work when there is a community of people editing; try to keep in contact with the other people who show up to edit, as it will encourage them to stick around.

If you have many newcomers you can use a template to welcome them. We've provided a nice basic one at Template:Welcome to get you started, but we encourage you to customize the text and links, and change the picture to one that is important (or funny!) to your community. Friendliness and humor can go a long way in making new visitors feel welcome.

Не бойся обращаться за помощью[]
