We encourage attendees and mailing list members to add their own content to this website.
This website uses the same MediaWiki software as Wikipedia. You can learn how to edit MediaWiki websites over at Wikipedia.
You'll need to create an account, then the system will email you a confirmation link; you'll need to click on that emailed link before you're allowed to edit pages.
Protected pages
There are a few pages which we don't allow everyone to edit. These include the main page and the tickets page. Only administrators such as CJ and AndrewO can edit protected pages. You can view a full list of protected pages and view a full list of administrators.
Style
Ideally you should adhere to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. It's not a big deal but you should not take offence if someone edits your contributions to fit that style.
- Page titles and headings should use "Sentence case which is one initial capital on the first word and then lowercase" and not "Title Case Which Is Initial Capitals On Every Word". Exceptions include proper nouns (e.g. "Andrew Oakley" not "Andrew oakley").
- The lead section (introductory paragraph) of a page should not have a title
- Bulletpoints only need a terminating full-stop if the bulletpoint contains more than one line
- British English, since this entire website is in a British context, unless mentioning specific foreign phrases
