About WikiGuide
Anyone with Web access can edit WikiGuide, and we believe that this can encourage the inclusion of a tremendous amount of content. Hence, we hope that more editors can join WikiGuide and make more knowledge spread to the world.

Wikipedia
Wikipedia, which is the 6th popular website till now, uses the same extension of WikiGuide which is called MediaWiki. However, WikiGuide is slightly different from Wikipedia. Wikipedia aims to create an encyclopedia, while WikiGuide aims to create a teaching guide. Moreover, WikiGuide is part of Trowiki project (see WikiGuide:Collaboration with trowiki projects) instead of Wikimedia Foundation.

Contribute to WikiGuide
Anyone can contribute to WikiGuide by clicking on the Edit tab in a guide, and editors are encouraged to be bold. Although editors can edit WikiGuide without logging in, we suggest you to create an account as it offers many benefits. Editors are expected to add only verifiable and factual stuffs to the guides rather than adding your own hypothesis of the guide, and to remain civil when discussing issues. Vandals will have their edits reverted and even be blocked from editing.

Most guides start as stubs, but after many contributions, they can become featured guides. All editors are unpaid volunteers, including administrators, trusted editors who are given elevated permissions. The ease of editing WikiGuide results in many people editing. Every page has an associated talk page tab, where improvements to it are discussed.
