| == What is VassarWiki? == | | <div> |
| A wiki is a collaboratively edited internet publication. VassarWiki is simply a wiki for Vassar College. The aim of the project is to collectively organize and publicize community knowledge about Vassar—its academic programs, student life, and ongoing history.
| | = <div id="vw-main-title"> Welcome to [[VassarWiki:About|VassarWiki]]! </div> = |
| | | <div id="vw-main-subtitle">[[VassarWiki:An encyclopedia and more|An encyclopedia and more]], built by and for the Vassar College community.</div> |
| Anyone with a Vassar email address can register. People with connections to Vassar but who lack a Vassar email (e.g. alumni, former faculty) may apply to have their email approved.

| == What kind of content is allowed? ==
| | <div>[[VassarWiki:About|About]]</div> |
| VassarWiki is deliberately open-ended to adapt to community needs. There are a few main types of pages. | | <div>[[Contents]]</div> |
| | | <div>[[VassarWiki:Help|Help]]</div> |
| === Encyclopedia pages === | | <div>[[VassarWiki:Improvements|Suggest improvements]]</div> |
| Encyclopedia pages are about things like student orgs, events, classes, departments, and college lore. Content should be written from a neutral point of view and reflect group consensus.
| | <div>[[VassarWiki:Disclaimer|Disclaimer]]</div> |
| | | </div> |
| All content here must be sourced. Sources fall into three categories, listed in decreasing order of authority:
| | </div> |
| | | <div style="display:flex; gap:1em; align-items:flex-start; flex-wrap:wrap;"> |
| # Reliable publications like external newspapers/journals, ''The Miscellany News'', and official Vassar websites
| | <div id="bulletin-box" style="flex:1 1 200px; padding: 0.5em 1em 1em 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; border: 2px solid var(--vw-green); background-color: var(--vw-green-subtle);"> |
| # Public statements by VSA-recognized student organizations
| | <center> |
| # Current or past Vassar individuals (including you!)
| | == <span style="float:left;">📌</span> <span style="margin-left:-1.2em;">[[Bulletin]]</span> == |
| | | </center> |
| Events occurring within the next two weeks may be listed on Upcoming Events.
| | {{#lsth:Bulletin|Bulletin}} |
| | | </div> |
| === Profiles === | | <div style="flex:1 1 300px; display:flex; flex-direction:column; gap:1em;"> |
| Unlike other pages, profiles can only be edited by the relevant individual. You can put anything in your profile (within reason), like interests, projects, club memberships, essays / freeform content, and contact information. No sourcing is required—the individual is the authority on their own page.

| Essays addressing VassarWiki issues may be elevated to wider standing after consensus is reached on the Village Pump.
