Manual:Community Portal

The Community Portal is the central place to find out what's happening on Missiopedia. Learn what tasks need to be done, what groups can be joined, and get or post news about recent events or current activities.

Community bulletin board

Post your Missiopedia-related news and announcements here! New portals, collaborations, and projects seeking contributors. New initiatives, proposals, discussions, or article drives, and current maintenance backlogs.

• Justin: adding new talk area - the discussion area of this community portal
• Justin: Preparing to migrate to a new site name, in order to bring everything together in a tighter way.
• Justin: We are having a significant increase in problems with spam. I've Been exploring some Mediawiki-plugins to deal with this problem but have not yet had success. If you see a spam page, feel free in the History of the page to hit rollback.
• We are working on developing a number of portals. Portal:India and Portal:Indonesia are coming.
• Justin: I have refined the organizational categories (see Agency Categories) thanks to a list sent to me by Michael Jaffarian. Each agency should be coded with at least one (and perhaps maximum of 2 or 3) of these specific codes).
