What is a wiki?
A wiki is a web site that all users can freely edit. See the media wiki user guide for more details.
Who can edit?
Anyone can! Although Editing may be restricted later, but for now it is open. The nature of a wiki is that we can always roll back changes if someone does something we don't like. If this turns into a hassle, we may restrict editing to only approved account.
How do I edit?
First create an account, then use the edit buttons. You can create a new page by just making up a a page name and typing it into the url e.g. wiki.theamazonbasin.com/index.php/YOURNAMEHERE. You can then link to the page from somewhere else by just typing two brackets [[YOUR NAME HERE]]. Note, it's sometimes easier to make the link FIRST, and then just click it and start editing. See the media wiki user guide for more details.
Who is in control?
Everyone is! It's something hosted for the use of all. That said, Basin admins do have veto power over any aspect should problems arise.
Is this an official Basin wiki?
Yeah, please consider this the 'official' Basin wiki. It is always evolving and always changing, but there are no plans to replace this Wiki.
What happens to content posted?
Content is going to stay right where it is, it won't be sold or handed off to any other sites.
