How to Contribute to Our Wiki
In order to sustain this wiki, we need your help! Please consider joining our community; all you have to do to become a member is sign up for a free Wetpaint account. Please be considerate in what you decide to post; this wiki is meant to be an educational, useful resource for those looking to go green.
There are several ways to contribute, and details on each are included below (scroll down or search on this page to go directly to the appropriate instructions). You can:
1. Create a detailed resource page. Come up with your own resource or choose one from the Resources Seeking Annotations: Feed the Wiki ! page.
2. Create a quick hit guide (a compilation of resources that each already have their own page), geared toward a particular user group.
3. Add to the list of events on our environmental calendar.
1. Resource Pages
Types of Resources
Anything related to helping people and/or organizations go green. By "going green," we mean cutting down on practices that harm our environment and adopting new ones that can help improve our environment.
Scope
Contributors to this Go Green wiki can use any source: books, websites, pamphlets, etc. We welcome a diversity of credible and reliable resources.
Presentation
Each resource included in the Go Green guide has its own page, formatted using the Final Template.
Steps to Create a Page
2. Quick Hit Guides
These guides are for those who want a "quick hit" look at the resources available, by topic or by level of expertise/knowledge, in order to make sense of the myriad resources available on this wiki. We started small with this feature (with four guides) and need to make it more robust, so please feel free to peruse those already compiled and then create one, using the Quick Hit Guide template.

Steps to Create a Page
- Click on "Add a new page" link on the right-hand side of the wiki.
- Select the "Final Template" template from the dropdown menu.
- Name the page based on the title of the resource. For example, "10 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Emissions."
- If posting an image, place it above "The Basics" heading.
- When writing text for each heading (At a glance, Best for, etc.), begin writing on the same line as the heading.
- For the "Suggested by" heading, use your Wetpaint username and link it back to your Profile page. To do this, type your username after "Suggested by:" highlight it, click "link" in the EasyEdit Toolbar, paste the URL of your Profile page in the link box and save the link.
- Choose "Move Page" and move page to the Alphabetical List of Resources and put in alphabetical order based on the title of your resource. If a resource starts with a number (e.g. 10), add it to the beginning of the list in numerical order. If the number is spelled out (e.g. Ten), insert it in the list alphabetically.
- Choose "Create Page" and fill in the template information.
- Add keyword tags to your resource by clicking on the "edit keyword tags" link in the yellow-green box at the bottom of your resource's page. Choose tags to enter based on the Resource Category most related to your resource. Add a tag from the Resources By Format section, found at the bottom of the Categories of Resources page. Add any other tags you feel are relevant.
- Consider posting links to all of your resource pages in your Profile. This will enable visitors to see all of your resources at a quick glance. For examples of this, see Annemcd, enbn54, HeatherMeix, rcasper, or rebeccachen.
