Welcome
Greetings and welcome to Anarchopedia, the anarchist knowledge portal! I hope you enjoy our community and participate in our mutual work.
Here are some tips to get you started:
- If in doubt, be bold and do it in the way you think will help the most people.
- Many Wikipedia things apply, such as
- To sign posts on "Talk/Discussion Pages" use '~' symbol. Use ~~~ (3 tildes) or ~~~~ (4 tildes) to insert your name or name and timestamp respectively.
- We, however, are not Wikipedia, and therefore expect wider range of articles. You can help by moving articles in danger of censorship from WP here.
- Please note that we try to keep our naming convention case sensitive. Examine the difference between moon and Moon, mercury and Mercury etc.
- The first letter of categories is normally capitalised such as Category:Musical groups.
- If you copy the article from Wikipedia, please be aware, that although you can do that you must provide a reference. Do so by adding {{wikipedia|Name of the article on wikipedia.}} at the very end of your article.
- For other datadumps see Category:Datadumps.
- Check out articles with downloadable files, Wikipedia would never allow such an expression of free exchange of ideas.
Some more information:
- To talk to other anarchopedians you can visit #anarchopedia on irc.indymedia.org (IRC server of Indymedia), or simply use their talk pages. Also check out syndicates.
Thank you for your time, comrade. ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) 2008 January 27 08:24 (UTC)

SysOp
Hi again, thanks for contributions, i've made you a sysop as it looks you were interested in improving our portal. Hope you will contribute constructively. ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) 2008 January 27 08:26 (UTC)
- What is a sysop? Sorry to sound stupid. I do plan on contributing more to this wiki. --Grrrlriot 18:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- SysOps can delete and restore pages, they also see an '!' next to new and unmoderated edits on Special:Recentchanges, which helps to fight against spammers. But recently we got our spam problem under control through filters and such, so there is very little extra to do for the SysOp. ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) 2008 January 28 07:51 (UTC)
- A SysOp is pretty much an admin or something like it, right? Thanks for making me a SysOp! I'm still a little confused about this because I thought everyone was a SysOp. --Grrrlriot 16:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
A title 'admin' in this context is normally reserved to people who have access to raw database, server settings, etc. We definitely cannot make everybody admin, since that would give them everybody's e-mails, password hashes (making it easier to get passwords, or to change them), etc. MediaWiki has SysOps which can do what i've described above. I hope this clears some stuff up, i am sorry for causing confusion. Perhaps in the future i'll just make people SysOps when it's clear that their goal of editing is to improve on Anarchopedia, rather than to vandalise it, and just say nothing... q;-) ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) 2008 January 28 17:26 (UTC)
- Ok, I see what your trying to say now. I think I understand it now. I think the SysOp is a good idea, but you shouldn't make everyone a sysop for the fact that some people come to diss/vandalize anarchopedia. --Grrrlriot 20:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
WikiGender
Hi, is it possible to view wikigender without already having an account? When i go to the your user page i get the password request and then access denied error. ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) 2008 February 22 15:12 (UTC)
- I was sent an invite to join by email. However, I think you can send an email to this address: Denis.DRECHSLER@oecd.org to get logged in and then from there you have to create your own account. --Grrrlriot 16:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
