Does the page fit into to a defined content type?


 * Landing page

What information is included on the page? (Is this a good question?)

How to get involved with Small Wiki toolkits

Who is the audience (or audiences) of the page? Is the content of the page suitable for that audience?


 * I am an editor or an admin on a wiki, and I want to grow the technical capacity of that wiki.
 * I am a technical community member, and I want to support the growth of wikis by helping them build technical capacity.
 * I want to learn/I want to help people learn.

Are there any duplicate pages that need to be merged or marked as obsolete?


 * For this page no

(Let's consider this item for technical writers only -- as it can require a lot of knowledge of the wikis to begin with)

How is the page linked to related pages? Is it part of a clearly defined collection of pages? Check Special:PrefixIndex for subpages.

Here are the related pages. There are also a number of pages in translation. It's not part of a collection - unless we consider it its own collection; it may be in the future.

What are the most impactful changes that can be made to improve the collection?

That is a big question. I don't know because I'm not familiar enough with it.

Potential question

 * Who is/are the maintainers of this page? Have you reached out to them?

Checklist for all pages

 * Title style: Uses sentence case for titles. The title should be descriptive and specific. This helps visitors decide whether they would want to use the page. For example: "Accessing Instances on Cloud VPS" is much better than "Instances".


 * We think this should be a different title. The current one is not specific. Suggested title: "Overview of toolkits for small wikis"


 * Introduction: For search optimization and page previews, include a short introduction as the first text on the page following the title. This should briefly introduce the content type, purpose of the page, general audience, and topic with the goal of providing enough information to be meaningful in a set of search results.


 * Roll this into the first set of questions. Once you have considered audience/context/purpose, then write the intro. This page is missing this element.


 * Table of contents: MediaWiki automatically creates a table of contents when a page has more than three headings. Use template:TOC to limit the heading levels displayed in the table of contents so that it is meaningful and concise. To save space, a table of contents can be opposite the title (right-aligned in LTR languages).
 * N/A


 * Section headings: Section headings use sentence case. Headings should use h2, h3, and h4 styles.
 * N/A


 * Code samples: Code samples should use template:Codesample and include a filename if appropriate.
 * N/A


 * Links: Links on the page go to existing, non-obsolete pages (unless for historical reasons). Link text is descriptive and does not include any wiki prefixes. Special:MyLanguage links are used whenever possible.


 * We should roll this into the original set of questions and remove it from the checklist.


 * Lists: Do not use bulleted list items to complete an introductory sentence fragment.


 * This is too granular. Can we remove this from the set of questions.


 * Status: No draft or outdated banners are present.


 * N/A
 * Feedback and communication: The page prompts readers to share feedback or ask a question. It indicates where readers can go to get updates or connect with others, if appropriate. A talk page exists (or redirects to a central talk page) with at least a welcome post.
 * N/A


 * Translation: If translation is available and the content of the page is stable, the page is marked for translation.
 * Mobile: The page is readable on mobile, with all important information visible.
 * Accessibility: The page complies with the accessibility guide for developers.
 * Date format: Either write out the complete date (September 1, 2021) or use YYYY-MM-DD format (2021-09-01).

Checklist for landing pages

 * Descriptive title: Because landing pages help organize and contextualize other pages, the title of a landing page should be descriptive enough to make sense when viewed directly from a search engine.
 * Image: If possible, include an image relevant to the topic, such as a project logo. The image can be centered or aligned opposite the title (right-aligned in LTR languages) using.
 * Topic overview: To provide context, a landing page should include a section that introduces the topic or theme of the page. For example, a landing page for Toolforge should include a section that describes what Toolforge is, what is does, and who uses it. This can be under an "About Toolforge" section or, if it makes sense with the layout of the page, in the first section under the title.
 * Small groups: When linking to other documentation pages, a landing page should organize links into groups of no more than six.
 * Link hub layout: When linking to other documentation pages, present groups of links in a way that is easy to navigate, such as Template:ContentGrid, Template:Colored box, Template:Contribution, Template:Portal list item on Wikitech, or a sidebar. Avoid organizing links with tables or headings.
 * Maintainer resources: Landing pages help facilitate the maintenance of a set of documentation. If possible, include ways for people to participate by subscribing to updates, watching pages, joining editathons, etc. Be explicit about which pages to watch to help answer questions and monitor edits.
 * Navigation between subpages: A landing page should include a navigation element that allows readers to move between pages within the collection, such as a sidebar, navigation box, or set of tabs. If the collection is organized using subpages, include a prefix search box.



Welcome! This is an initiative to support small wiki communities. Here you can learn and share technical skills to support, maintain, and grow your community.

This is work in progress. See how you can help.

Toolkits
Toolkits consist of a set of recommended tools and teaching and learning resources on specific technical skills needed for developing, growing, and maintaining small wikis. You can use these toolkits to learn a variety of technical skills or use them in workshops to teach more people.

Ask your technical questions
Is something unclear? Please ask! However, unfortunately we cannot offer (yet) the "one place" where you will definitely receive an answer to your question. Good places to ask are usually the Support desk on mediawiki.org (if a question about MediaWiki itself), some mailing lists and IRC chat channels, the Tech page on meta-wiki (if it's about a Wikimedia wiki), or the talk pages of the links above after you have checked that the talk page has actually been active lately.

Help us with this initiative
Do you have an idea for building technical capacity in your wiki community? Are you interested in workshops, virtual events, toolkits, video tutorials, or interested in exchanging problems and challenges in smaller wiki communities? Join us: add a comment on the discussion page!

We organize and track what to work on in the Small-Wiki-Toolkits Phabricator project. We sometimes have video meetings, and we might have other discussion places in the future once the group becomes bigger.

Develop toolkits
We want to provide a limited number of links to high-quality, task-oriented ("How can I…?") material. This often requires improving existing documentation first, to be consistent, up-to-date, and in simple English. We collect and discuss existing, non-optimal documentation pages for a specific area in a corresponding Phabricator task instead of listing ten "See Also" links for one topic on this very page. Ideally, we would also love to have short, [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyGJiUIMGpw well-done] video tutorials on some topics, with subtitles that could be translated.

If you want to develop and document a toolkit yourself, here are some recommendations:


 * Think task and user oriented. The question to answer is "How can I solve this problem?", not "Can you tell me more about this technology area?".
 * Use the [ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dPfWDfteDNK4eCJ4VAGIt5ofylsL6xsvuhqi2TM6OsM/edit toolkit presentation template slides] if you don't already have one. The template is also available in [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/13v_CKs6Cq7t_n8BdqSXYCQxkF0NhnaDl/view ODP file format].
 * Include notes for trainers on the slides where applicable so that both potential trainers or learners can benefit from it. See for reference [ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NdmuE0SlYXOCLJ9vNlmCzuUQVis-hsLbwCnpR9MLwZs/edit user scripts and gadgets toolkit source] and its PDF version with detailed notes.
 * Upload your toolkit with detailed notes on Wikimedia Commons & add the Small wiki toolkits category. In the File Description, add a link to the PDF source if you are willing to let a potential trainer make a copy and modifications to the source. See for reference, the description section of these slides on Wikimedia Commons.
