There are close to 3000 "wanted pages" (i.e. articles that have been linked to, but have yet to be written) on the Micronations.net Wiki (commonly known as MicroWiki). There's a good chance that one of those wanted pages could be your own biography!

Everyone is encouraged to create a user account at the wiki and contribute to any of the wanted pages so that we can begin to reduce the backlog of missing information. Remember, the Wiki is there to preserve not only the history of micronations and organizations, but also the record of your participation in our community.

To view the list of wanted pages, please visit: http://mnn.mncentre.net/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Wantedpages

Note also that there are a large number of articles that are currently marked as needing improvement (either through more information added, or the addition of missing images, etc.):
http://mnn.mncentre.net/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Improve

If you want to write an article on an issue that isn't already in the list of wanted articles or on the wiki elsewhere (do a search), then all you need to do is put the name of the article into the search function and then, on the results page, choose "create this page."

Editing a wiki page is very straight forward - you just type the information into the text box as you would write a discussion forum post. The only difference is the coding, which is largely straightforward: http://mnn.mncentre.net/wiki/index.php?title=MicroWiki:Editing

If you have any trouble with coding, you can seek support via this forum or contact myself or Lachlan.

Your contribution to reducing the number of missing pages is very important - right now, there are two people trying to reduce the backlog by writing/adding missing articles, which is a nearly impossible task considering that neither person is an expert in every issue of micronational history.

This is your opportunity to put your expert knowledge on a part of our community's history into writing.
