Collaboration

---

Definition

Collaboration is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together in an intersection of common goals — for example, an intellectual endeavor that is creative in nature — by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. Most collaboration requires leadership, although the form of leadership can be social within a decentralized and egalitarian group. In particular, teams that work collaboratively can obtain greater resources, recognition and reward when facing competition for finite resources.

Ways You Can Help

Collaborate on Wikis already Started

You can find wikis to improved in a number of different ways:

• Search for Mopar topics, cars, or people that interest you, and see if that topic is missing information that you can include in it.
• Click the link in an existing wiki to a subject that interests you.
• Click Random Page until you see a topic you want to tackle

Adding Text Context

Most of the existing pages are simple terminology pages, which were created and a format template copied to it while working on another Wiki, but hasn't had anyone yet define the term. In most instances, the page requires only a paragraph or two to be completed. Completing these wikis only require an Internet search, cutting and pasting the text, and Citing a reference -- as we should always credit the original author. Before you start laying with a live wiki - you should:

• First play with your User wiki MyWiki Info
• Look over a Wiki type (Terminology, person, Model of a make) similar to the one you're about to modify, so you understand the look & feel (format) for consistency. Please follow that format or you may cause someone else a lot of time fixing your mistakes.
• Look over the Text Formatting Cheat Sheet to understand how to format text.
• Click Edit and then click Preview of a Wiki, to help you understand how formatting worked in

Adding Photos

Wikis are better with Photos. That said, here is the policy.

• Use only good, clear, in focus photos with the foreground and background also being of a quality. You might need to use an online photo editor to crop and resize it.
• Make sure you. have the permission/authority to upload a photo to this site
• Do not Hot Link the photo from another site. When that site or photo disappears, it make ours wikis look cheap & cheesy.
• The photo width needs to be under 1200px and the height under 800px.
• Use only .png it .jpg photos
• File limitation is 2mb, but you should keep it under 500kb.

Adding References

• Occasionally you'll come across a large wiki without sufficient references. Do a search of some of the information in the Wiki to locate verification references, and cite those references in the wiki. This legitimatizes the info in the wiki as valid, gives the reader feeling like they need yet more information a place to go, and gives credit where credit is due.

Suggestions

• Click preview before you click save, to make sure your changes display correctly before saving.
• Don't save too often. Each save makes another entire copy of the Wiki, clogging up MoparWiki, increasing expenses, and slowing down the site.
• Don't overuse text formatting like Bold, Italics, and/or colors
• Don't use MoparWiki for self promotion. That's a good way to get removed along with your work
• Avoid overusing photos or uploading bad photos. Don't upload photos you do not have permission to upload.

Talk Pages

Each wiki has a talk page. Free Form your comments:

• If you disagree with information contained in the wiki
• You have comments on the wiki,
• You have a suggestion for the wiki,
• You have links to more information that you don't have time to filter through and include
• you are uncomfortable editing the actual wiki, but you have info you'd someone else to verify and include
