There are several ways to help. You can extend pages, modify them, create new ones, or translate existing ones.

Create

If there is a missing term, there are two ways to fill this gap. As usually in wiki sites, the wikitext format is used. If you are not familiar with wikitext, this cheat sheet contains the relevant information about editing. If you edit tables you need some additional knowledge which can be found on this website.


1. If you can properly describe the term, create the page yourself. In the next example the term will be fraudster.

Accordingly after search you will see the text <<Create the page "Fraudster" on this wiki!>>.

Click

By clicking on the term Fraudster, you can start editing the page.

Describe

When you are done with editing please write a short summary about what you have done. If you click "Show preview" on the bottom or just the "Preview" tab on the top of the editor and you will see how the page will look like. If you are satisfied with it, click on the button "Save page", thus your page is submitted.

Save

2. Make a request towards us to make a page for the term.

Modify

If you found the term in the glossary you need, but you think some information is invalid or not appropriate, maybe it needs some clarification, please notify us on the discussion tab or edit the page yourself, using the wiki format and references which confirm the changes and make the articles reliable and verifiable.

Extend

If you found the term in the glossary you need, but you think some information is missing, you can ask on the discussion tab to extend the page. If you have the knowledge to extend it, feel free to do it yourself. Please use references as many as possible. It helps the users to find even more information about the terms.

Translate

Recently few pages are marked for translations. It is possible to translate pages to any languages, but Spanish and German translations have priorities. However if you have time and skills to translate any of the pages in this wiki, you are free to do it. If you found a page you want to translate, but it is not marked for translation, please let us now on the discussion page and one of our translation administrator will mark the page for translations.

After the preparation step is done, you will see "Translate this page" link on the top of the site. Following this link, you can choose the language you want to translate to. Detailed help about translating can be found on the official website of the Translation extension here.
