How do we want our wiki?

While the main websites also serve as promotional content, the content within the wiki should be rather informal and neutral. This is especially important for content that might get copied to Wikipedia. Oh yes, we wanna be on Wikipedia!

Content Organisation will be veri important. My current idea is to have an easy entry level which should be worked out well and hopefully doesn't need to be changed often. Additionally, sections with detailed mining, troubleshooting,... information shall provide depth. Keeping everything updated will be a major concern as well. Lastly, it is mandatory to keep all the Memes at one place.

MEMEs ;)

Contribution needed

What i have done so far is to copy & paste the official sites and some slack infos. Then randomly sorted, edited, formatted stuff - still it is chaos. This shall serve as a skeleton which we improve. Some texts are very advertising, that needs to be changed. Properties like "unique" need to be reference at best with external links.

Focus on text first and keep formatting limited for now. Once the texts are improved and the actual content becomes more clear we work out a common format.

Please work on:

VeriCoin & Verium

My idea is to just briefly mention VeriCoin and Verium here and link both. The main focus should then be put on the dual blockchain technology and how VRC and VRM work together. This is the place for more general information about the whole project as well.


Details about each coin should be presented in their pages:

VeriCoin

Verium


Wikis Special:WantedPages.

Try to not create many additional pages yet.

Create a wanted page

Design thoughts

  • Keep the menu tight. (max. 3 / 4 / 4 points?)
  • Short intro text that is easy to understand.
  • The pages accessable from the main menu (sidebar) shall be kept short. For further content create new pages.
  • This Wiki is meant to be a knowledge base for the cryprocurrencies VeriCoin and Verium. Although decentralization is a major goal for a cryptocurrency, a centralized access point for information is to favour and the wiki-interface provides community driven content and moderation.
  • Title "VeriCoin Wiki" or "VeriCoin & Verium Wiki"?
