spam filter

If you get blocked by the spam filter, please contact me! Be sure to include your IP address so I can unblock you. I need to type up some guidelines for avoiding the filter, and the filter itself needs a CAPTCHA-based unblocker.

Editing

This page is in need of updating. Need some basic wiki-editing instructions here.

Templates

didn't I already create a page or section about templates somewhere? -W.

Various conditions under which the complete text of an external article might be posted in Issuepedia:

Template:Authored: reprinted with Issuepedia-specific permission
Template:Copyrt: reprinted without permission
Template:Fiskreprint: reprinted without permission specifically for fisking (maybe this is redundant?)
- Template:Fisking-incomplete: use this when you've posted the article but haven't finished fisking yet
Template:Licensed: reprinted under the terms of a specific license

News Sources

Places to find current news, especially items not generally covered by the mainstream press

Technical Stuff

This is just a page listing for now; eventually there should be how-to guides.

forms: category -- includes templates for handling form data
code (mostly W3TPL):
- lib: code libraries
  - links: code for handling link pages
  - util: general utility functions
- show: routines for displaying stuff (also tend to do stuff when you include them, minimizing need for additional code, vs. requiring a function call)
  - link: displays a link page in a human-readable format

Outdated

These articles should be rewritten, updated, or scrapped:

Article Types: some of the main types of articles, and where to find examples
Contributors: actual people who have contributed substantially to Issuepedia
