Right, but what's a "wiki"?
A wiki is a website where any visitor--not just registered members or administrators--can edit the content of any page; you can even change the text of what you're looking at right now.
A wiki is a practical medium for documenting large volumes of information. Creating an Easy Crafts encyclopedia would be too great a task for a single person. But with hundreds of editors updating a wiki, it can easily become a robust knowledgebase in a short matter of time. See Wikipedia or the Homestar Runner Wiki for examples of successful wikis.
Getting Started
While you don't have to register to edit, it is recommended. It's free and you don't need an email address. By choosing to register, you get a number of benefits that include your own user page, your own talk page, and the ability to keep a "watchlist" of pages and be notified when they are updated. Registering solidifies your place in the Easy Crafts wiki community.
Don't be shy--be BOLD! Any little bit is helpful; if you think an article can be improved, just click the "Edit this page" button at the top of your screen and add your vision. For your first edit, consider adding your blog or a blog you love to the Craft Blog Directory.
Now What?
Become a regular editor! Add projects, make comments and edits. Become a part of the community! Because wikis don't require the use of messy HTML, editing pages is quick, easy, and fun.
