User:Kirkburn/First

A very brief guide to the first few things to do on a new wiki!


 * 1) Sort out a clean Main Page with links to various important pages and sections. This page may make or break your wiki.
 * 2) Write a short introduction on what the wiki is about for the Main Page.
 * 3) Make sure somewhere exists for prospective and current editors to chat about the wiki.
 * 4) Create the most important articles first and get them organised simply.
 * 5) Get a logo, even if it is a stop-gap design - it will help give your project an 'identity'.
 * 6) Tell people the wiki exists, and make sure they feel welcome when they come!

From this, your wiki should have a solid foundation for the near future!
