#REDIRECT [[Wiki_Code_Cookbook]]
 
=== Who can have an account? ===
Team Leaders, and optionally a team member they designate.
 
=== How do I get an account? ===
Send an email to {{EmailLink|addr=net@portland.gov|name=net@portland.gov}}.
 
=== Moderation ===
Your initial changes will be reviewed by a moderator. That means pending edits will be invisible.
 
As you get the hang of it, future edits will take place immediately.
 
== Getting Started ==
 
=== Wiki (not WordPress) ===
This is a wiki, which is a collaboratively edited website. Each edit to a page is recorded as a separate change, resulting in a history of what the page looked like in the past and which user made which changes to it. Wikipedia is the most famous example of a wiki, but there are important differences here, explained below.
 
Wikis are unfortunately not as pretty as WordPress. The emphasis is more on content than style.
 
=== Your First Edit ===
 
# Log in with your account.
# Click <code>Edit</code> on your team page.
# Update the schools listed for your neighborhood:
## [[File:Neighborhood_template_location.png|none|frame|Double-click the yellow "Neighborhood" box on the right side of the page.]]
## [[File:Neighborhood template editor- Schools.png|none|frame|Check the "Schools" checkbox on the left side of the dialog.]]
## [[File:Neighborhood template editor Schools content.png|none|frame|Find the "Schools" content section in the center of the dialog. Add schools you know of, one per line, with an asterisk ("*") at the beginning of the line.]]
## [[File:Neighborhood template editor screenshot Apply Changes.png|none|frame|Click the <code>Apply Changes</code> button in the top right corner.]]
# Click the <code>Save page...</code> button.
# Provide a summary of your changes or rationale. For example, "Update school list".
 
=== Your Second Edit ===
 
Look up the population for your neighborhood(s) in [https://www.portlandmaps.com/detail/neighborhood/POWELLHURST-GILBERT/95_did/ portlandmaps.com]. Update the Neighborhood template(s) as above.
 
=== Your Third Edit ===
 
Look up stations on the [https://www.portland.gov/fire/documents/station-map-addresses-service-areas/download fire station map] and update your neighborhood(s).
 
== Editing ==
 
=== Editors ===
There are two editors available:
 
* The visual (WYSIWYG) editor, entered via the <code>Edit</code> and <code>Create</code> buttons.
* The wikitext (markup) editor, entered via the <code>Edit source</code> and <code>Create source</code> buttons.
 
The visual editor is most useful for new users, but even users comfortable with markup will find its guidance useful for e.g. providing template parameters. You can choose either, and even switch between them in the same editing session.
 
=== Every Page Should Contain ===
There are a number of templates useful for NET Team pages.
 
Every team page should use these templates. They provide a consistent look and feel, and group team pages into categories:
 
* [[Template:TeamPageBanner]]
* [[Template:Team]]
* [[Template:Neighborhood]]
 
=== Other Useful Templates ===
Other templates do things like make links pretty. Please use them for more appealing team pages:
* [[Template:EmailLink]]
* [[Template:GoogleDocLink]]
* [[Template:FacebookLink]]
* [[Template:GroupsLink]]
* [[Template:InstagramLink]]
* [[Template:SignalLink]]
 
 
Here is how they are useful:

=== What is missing? ===
The current wishlist:
 
* Add an extension to embed team calendars.
* Add an extension for GIS integration, which would allow us to easily embed live maps.
 
=== Useful resources ===
 
* [https://www.portland.gov/civic/myneighborhood/neighborhood-profile-maps Neighborhood Demographic Profiles]

=== How to get help ===
 
* Start at https://mediawiki.org. Keep in mind that advanced MediaWiki features may require extensions that are not installed here.

== Policies ==
 
=== Allowed content ===
All contributions must adhere to the [[PBEM Volunteer Code of Conduct]]. Especially relevant is "''I will treat fellow volunteers, Team Leaders, City employees, and individuals I serve with dignity, respect, and courtesy. I will take steps to quell profane, abusive, demeaning, belittling, or harassing interactions or communications with others.''" Since it is included in the previous document, contributions must also follow the [https://www.portland.gov/code/1/03 City of Portland's Code of Ethics].
 
Team page content must also be relevant (i.e. within the scope of the team). For example, a team page is not an appropriate forum for evangelizing adoption of a new solar-powered gurney with built-in Internet hotspot via satellite. While very cool, it is not within the scope of any individual team.
 
=== What goes on a team page? ===
Your team page could be the single link your team hands out at block parties or when new neighbors move in.
 
Please consider it a "landing page" that describes aspects of emergency preparedness that are ''unique to your neighborhood''. For example,
 
* For potential volunteers:
** provide ways to engage with the local team (e.g. team point of contact, public discussion forums)
** describe unique considerations (e.g. "we work closely with this school," "we meet at this location", "90% of Oregon's fuel supply passes through our neighborhood")
** team accomplishments (e.g. "we've deployed at warming shelters", "we provided first aid at this parade")
* For existing team members:
** recognize team positions (e.g. Team Leader, Amateur Radio Operators)
** contain important links (e.g. to a shared team folder, or to the Operations Plan)
 
 
Some content belongs elsewhere:
 
* News: this content often goes stale, and is better shared in team discussion forums.
* Orientation to the NET program: this is best centralized at PBEM, rather than re-written by individual teams.
* Tips for personal preparedness: this is best centralized at PublicAlerts.org, rather than re-written by individual teams.
 
=== Can other NET members edit my team's page? ===
Yes, and these contributions should be welcomed.
 
# Watch your team's page so you receive notifications when it's changed.
# If someone else's change needs improvement, improve it.
# If there is a disagreement that can't be resolved, send an email to {{EmailLink|addr=net@portland.gov|name=net@portland.gov}} for help.
 
=== Can I edit any page on the wiki? ===
Subject matter experts are responsible for other pages. Team editors should limit their changes to team pages.
 
=== Can I create new pages on the wiki? ===
If you think a new page is needed, please send an email to {{EmailLink|addr=net@portland.gov|name=net@portland.gov}} about it.
 
=== Can I upload photos or team documents? ===
For most files, please upload them separately and link to them from your team pages.
