 ====== Wanted Pages: ideas for future content ====== ====== Wanted Pages: ideas for future content ======
-Please add ideas for pages which would be useful additions to the wiki below.+If you: 
 +  * Came looking for a particular topic on the wiki, but didn't find it... 
 +  * Know something useful which isn't on the wiki yet... 
 + 
 +...you could write it yourself [[wiki:create_account_request_editor_privileges|once you have editor rights to the wiki]]. That would be awesome. 
 + 
 +However, that can be a heavy lift, so if you don't want to write a page yourself, you can add ideas for pages which would be useful additions to the wiki below, and someone will pick it up. 
 + 
 +It's OK simply to list the idea, but if you can add links, references, or background, please do. 
 + 
 +===== When to create a new page ====== 
 +Create a new page on the wiki when one of the following opportunities are present: 
 +  * **Content**. You have more than zero content which doesn't belong on another page 
 +  * **Intra-wiki linking**. You see a page which should exist, and you can add links to that page from other pages 
 +  * **De-duplication**. You see content duplicated across two or more pages which should be moved to its own page and linked to from the original source pages instead. 
 + 
 +===== When not to create a new page ===== 
 +Avoid creating stub pages where none of the above are true, or users will find the wiki full of pages which promise much and deliver little. If you have an idea for a page which should exist but you don't have time/inclination to improve content, links or deduplication, list it on this page instead. Link to the non-existent page, and either you or someone else can come back later to get the page started. 
 +===== Pages which could exist ===== 
 +  * [[:faq:privacy:migrate_to_from_other_instance|Moving to/from another Mastodon instance]] 
 +  * [[:wiki:style_guide|wiki.infosec.exchange style guide]] 
 +  * [[:wiki:editor_tips|wiki.infosec.exchange editor tips]] 
 +  * [[:faq:privacy: 
 + 
 +==== glitch-soc features ==== 
 +Wikify [[:faq:mastodon:glitch_soc|glitch-soc features]] because there's a lot of stuff which won't be in mainstream Mastodon guides people may have read: https://github.com/glitch-soc/docs 
 +  * [[:faq:privacy:local_only_posts|Local-only posts]] - https://github.com/glitch-soc/docs/blob/master/features/local-only-toots/index.md 
 +  * [[:faq:read_discover:eye_emoji|Why is there an eye icon after every post in this thread?]] - local only post! 
 +  * etc.
