Welcome to MoparWiki Build it and they will come The Mopar Wiki site is a brand new concept of having everyone in the Mopar community to pull together and build the biggest and best database of Mopar Knowledge ever assembled. Frankly, this is going to take a little time to get the ball rolling, as most people are followers not leaders. Like those who will only support their sports teams when they are winning – followers will only participate after they have seen enough leaders participate first. Therefore, we are looking for a group of leaders willing to roll up their sleeves and set an example for the followers. If you have leadership qualities and would like to be on the ground floor with participating in a project like this – then please jump in. Enough of the Administrative work has been finished to have the site functional. While there will always be tuning to make the site better and better -- MoparStyle registered users currently logged in can contribute some of their knowledge on the subject. Don't worry about writing the entire topic -- just contribute what information you have. For instance, if you have facts on production numbers or technical specs -- go ahead and add them and leave the pretty words to the Wordsmiths. What is a Wiki? The word Wiki comes from the Hawaiian word for quick. Those of you fortunate enough to fly into Honolulu might have taken the Wiki Wiki Shuttle between the International and the Inter-Island terminals. As it applies to the Internet, a Wiki has become the generally accepted term for an encyclopedia built by a collaboration of the public, based on their knowledge of the subject, and those seeking that knowledge use it. The process generally starts with an initial article by someone who has well researched the topic, and is able to give reference citations. Others will then edit the article for the addition of more information, corrections, and grammatical style. Ultimately, the article will mature and then is locked for routine edits, although can be updated when a panel is shown cause for it to be. Along the editing process, previous versions are preserved to protect the article from bad editing or vandalism. Good Wikis will have thousands contributing their knowledge and research; and dozens of volunteers to edit for style, research conflicting information, moderate to eliminate ulterior motive; and there is generally a dispute panel, which will hear and settle disputes. Purpose The purpose of the MoparWiki is very simple, to become the largest repository of Mopar Information -- the best Mopar Encyclopedia, if you will. There are millions of Mopar enthusiasts with both the knowledge required to achieved this lofty goal, and the references to back it up. Information that doesn't list references generally isn't trusted. If we all from time to time collaborate on these Mopar topics -- the MoparWiki will become the best informationbase of Mopar Data. If you've ever visited WikiPedia, this is the same concept -- only specializing in Mopar information. As a matter of fact, we use the exact same software application as Wikipedia. For a professional appearance, we want to follow a consistent format. Please familiarize yourself with the more completed wikis, and follow that format. There is a simple markup language used for formatting the text and links -- but don't let that scare you away. It is not only very simple -- but the Help documentation on this site is excellent. In the furthermost right box below -- there are links to cheat sheets. Keep the appropriate one opened in a different tab -- and you will find you will have the formatting understood in no time. Likewise, we'll be looking for others who a little more familiar with the formatting, to help out and clean up some of the rougher works. No person has to tackle an entire wiki. Collaboration means that you help with the information you have, and others will help with the information they have. No one person will own any work -- as over time a topic is seasoned with more and more information added. Please take a look at some of the featured wikis listed below -- and look at some of the wikis we're asking for help on. Any help you give will be appreciated. Don't work about your work being lost to vandalism -- as we can roll back any topic to any point in the past. If you put a substantial bit of work into a topic -- you my want to "watch" it -- to where you are notified of changes. Each topic has a history page, where you can see who contributed what -- and they each have a "Talk Page" -- where discussions and disputes are hammered out. So won't you please crack whatever reference books you have -- and help collaborate on the Mopar topics?

How You Can Help MoparStyle Members MoparStyle Members are authorized to edit the pages. Your same log-in to post in the forums, or post free classified ads, will also allow you to edit the wikis. As a matter of fact, each MoparStyle member has his own user page -- which is the best place for them to start with getting a feel for the mark-up text for formatting. If you are not already a MoparStyle member -- we invite you to go to the forums and register to post. It is quick, free, and MoparStyle is the best damn Mopar community on the Internet. Research and Editing Needed Every member of MoparStyle can help somewhere with making the MoparWiki the best Mopar Encyclopedia. Please spend a little time when available to help others looking for answers. Please Preview Before Saving It would be a very big help if you would use the Preview more often than the save -- and then use the save only after you are done editing and checking with preview. It helps the editors to look at the updates -0- and roll back if necessary. Talk Pages If you challenge the accuracy of the information in a topic -- but can't absolutely back it up with a reference citation -- then use the talk page, so others can find a reference to settle the challenge. Likewise -- if you don't feel comfortable editing the topic itself -- but you feel like you have some valuable information that someone else will find useful when they tackle the topic -- post it in the talk page for the topic.
