| * [[Special:NewPages|Newest articles]]: The newest articles – listed newest to oldest – that have been added to the Mises Wiki and may need some review | | ===Help for beginners=== |
| | *Ask any general questions you have at the [[MisesWiki:Commons|Mises Commons]]. |
| | *Questions specific to a particular article can be raised on the particular article's talk page: click the "discussion" tab at the top. |
| | *To do a test edit, use the [[MisesWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]. |

| | *There's also a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUI9Ure8JCE video tutorial] on Youtube. |

|
| * [[Special:ShortPages|Shortest articles]]: The shortest articles – in reverse order of number of bytes – presently on the Mises Wiki that might need some expansion. If an article you find is really short and/or not quite ready for prime-time, you might consider assigning it a category of "Stub," to wit: | | ===Community=== |
| | | *Join in the Mises Wiki discussion at either of two places: |
| * [[:Category:Article stubs|Stubs]]: Similar to the shortest articles, these entries have already been assigned the category of "stub" since they, at one point, were considered (by someone or other) "placeholding" or start-up articles and definitely needed some expansion. See if you agree. To mark an article as a "stub" add the code <code><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></code> to the end or beginning of any article. | | **[[MisesWiki:Commons|The Mises Commons]] for questions and proposals |
| | | **[http://groups.google.com/a/mises.com/group/wiki Mises Wiki Email List] for future development ideas |
| * [[Special:RecentChanges|Most recent changes]]: Watching changes that have just been made also helps us avoid any spam or mischief. The Mises Wiki is already popular enough to have been discovered by statist ne'er-do-wells! | | ** |
| | | *[[MisesWiki:Meetups|Meetups]]: Find groups of libertarians, anarchists, and others influenced by the Austrian School near you, or add your group to the list. |
| * [[MisesWiki:WikiProject Economic History|Economic history]]: An overview of the economic history project here on the Mises Wiki plus some identified economic history items that could use your assistance
| | |} |
| | |
| * [[MisesWiki:Sandbox|The Sandbox]]: A practice area and workspace where you can try out your wiki editing skills (newbies welcome) and not worry (much) about breaking anything. Have at it! Try using the Show preview button to test your edits first, and notice also there is a Cancel option. Did your attempt still end up looking like a disaster? No idea how to fix it? Heart beating? No worries. Folks aren't too far away if you have questions. And, the Sandbox slate is wiped clean regularly, so any less-than-perfect results won’t be there long. That why the Sandbox is there! | |
| | |
| * [[MisesWiki:Meetups|Meetups]]: A developing list of worldwide meetup groups of followers and friends of the [[Austrian School]], most of whom have probably not yet tested their skills in the Sandbox either | |
| | |
| * [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]: Each article (or sometimes "page") here on the Mises Wiki becomes more useful overall when it has been assigned one or more "categories". You can see each page's categorization by looking at the very bottom of the page. These categories are "clickable" and by clicking the category you can quickly find all other articles in that same category. For example, when you look at the page for [[Murray N. Rothbard]], it is categorized (at this writing) as "Anarcho-capitalists," "Economists," "Historians," and "Political theorists." Not sure which categories exist to assign to an article? The list of categories is [[Special:Categories|here]]. Get to know these categories and you can add them to pages as you go along. Categories are customarily added at the very bottom of the page's text, inside square brackets, as in <code><nowiki>[[Category:Political theorists]]</nowiki></code>.
| |
| | |
| * [[Special:WantedPages|Most wanted pages]]: When a Mises Wiki editor creates a link to a Mises Wiki page that has not yet been created (those "red links" you see all over that seem to go nowhere), that is effectively a statement that, said page is considered desirable by that editor. Here at the Mises Wiki, the system counts these "red link" pages that need to be created, and this list shows which yet-to-be-created-pages are linked to the most – even though they don't yet exist! Look at these pages, and perhaps you can create a small page, even a "stub" (see above), that is really sought after. [N.B. As of late 2010 while the Mises Wiki is getting going, the "most wanted" list might seem a bit unexpected, but stay tuned!]
