Microsoft Wiki:Rebuilding Micropedia

Please feel free to help us in the effort to rebuild Micropedia!

=What you can do...=


 * Micropedia is extremely out-of-date, so you can do a LOT by updating our old articles that are stuck back in 2005.

To import content from Wikipedia;
 * 1) Find the page on Wikipedia.
 * 2) Click edit on the Micropedia page.
 * 3) Copy the surface text from Wikipedia. Do NOT go into the edit page for Wikipedia.
 * 4) Paste it on Micropedia.
 * 5) Fix formatting, add internal links.
 * 6) Add   to give attribution to Wikipedia.


 * A lot of our pages are messy. You can also help by cleaning up. Help by removing all red links, raw codes, red categories, and red templates. Only links related to Microsoft should be left.


 * We need images. Try to upload images for our imageless articles or find a place to put an unused image. You can also import free images from Flickr.


 * CREATE NEW PAGES! We're trying to cover every single Microsoft topic Wikipedia has and more! You can fulfill a request for a wanted page.

We also need people to expand the short pages, improve the long pages, and link up the orphaned pages.

Please note that any articles from Wikipedia should have the   tag at the top, to comply with GFDL licensing!
