Announcement!
Fellow Wolfpack Nation and friends:
- The skin was reverted back to the default "monobook" or "WIkipedia" skin, due to formatting errors with templates.
- The logo will be fixed over the weekend.
- We will be adding massive amounts of content over the weekend.
- If anyone is interested in developing a skin for this site please email us
- We currently need help with importing templates as well.
If you would like to contribute to these or any other efforts please contact us at staff@wolfpackwiki.com
What is Wolfpack Wiki about?
This site is a wiki dedicated to The University Encyclopedia Project started by WikiAnthropy.com! We aim to preserve and promote the history of Wolfpack culture as it was when it was established, and how it continues today. This includes documenting anything in regard to NC State University, its colleges and schools, buildings, monuments, notable alumni, athletes, coaches, athletic teams, professors, students, academic and veterinary research, traditions, songs, mascots, logos, and so on.
We encourage the community of alumni, alumni associations, faculty, staff, students, student associations, enthusiasts, fans, and associated blogs/websites/internet communities to create what we intend to be the ultimate voice and authority of everything Wolfpack!
At the moment Wolfpackl Wiki is [still under development], but mostly in regard to extending current capabilities!
Please create an account and log in to start contributing to the wiki! You can even follow us on twitter! Any time a page is edited our system sends a tweet through our twitter account! Its what we like to think of a next generation watch page. :)
How do I get started?
This is a good question! First, anonymous users cannot create pages nor edit them so you have to create an account. We are working on some single sign on capabilities, like the ability to login with Facebook Connect, or Google OpenID. You are given the choice of how much privacy you want to exercise - including making a new account not associated with any of your personal social networks. We also do not require that you offer any information other than what you want to reveal on your [username:talk] (link is to my talk or "profile" page) page.
In a short time this section will be filled with a few links to the how-to's, policies, and standards of article creation. Most of these pages will come directly from Wikipedia's policies. For now simply be 1. responsible, 2. respectful, 3. truthful, and 4. neutral in what you write and the articles you create.
Policies and help pages will be posted soon!
To Do List
Most urgent: Help is needed integrating Facebook Connect and Google OpenID log in methods.
1. LOTS of help needed with installing common templates used on wikipedia!
2. Install and configure Lightbox2 for photo viewing.
- Edit toolbar image button default function to insert the rel="lightbox" attribute in image links
- Research further how this tool can be used to enhance WPW.
3. Categorize main page in to sections similar to MediaWiki to help new users navigate and distinguish different topics. For example, a section with links to explain how to add content, like how to use videoflash to add videos to the wiki articles.
4. Install an edit toolbar extension that allows more formatting options.
5. Change default URL Scheme to ShortURL - currently not working.
6. Get notice pages working (Site Notice, Page Notice, etc)
7. Research how to set up a donation system to support the site.
