What this page is for
The point of the "Community Portal" page is to have a central point for bulletin-board or water-cooler notes that all contributors can read and write to. At first just a reference page and a talk page, it may grow into a subsite of its own if enough people use it for notices. This page will also contain a list of useful links for all contributors to be aware of. (It's sort of a supplement to the "toolbox" and "navigation" bars to the left...)
Content copying and copyright tips:
- In general, content should be original or copied from public-domain sources. It should definitely never come from copyrighted web sites. (Unless you can obtain and include written permission. If so, please put it on the "discussion" page for that article.)
- The Wikipedia is a halfway case -- since it's under the GFDL, and so is this wiki, you can copy when you need to, and you need only cite the source at the end of the page using the shortcut:
{{wikicities:Wikipedia|Article}}
where "Article" is the title of the Wikipedia article you used.
- Of course linking to the page instead of copying it is usually better. For that, use
[[Wikipedia:Article]]
as a link.
Article Names
Articles should be named in a uniform way to help links and searches work best. See Help:Conventions for more information.
