What is the Content Wiki?
Content Wiki is where facts on products and companies and such will be stored.
Opinions (ie. Campaigns and split articles) go to The Consumerium Exchange
This page is not for actual content but for developing the syntax and governance of the Content Wiki so we can set one up.
Wiki software
To fork or not to fork that is the question. It is natural to presume that the wiki softare will be either:
- MediaWiki unmodified
- MediaWiki modified
- A fork of MediaWiki
Which one of these alternatives makes sense is an open question
Wiki Syntax
If an modified version will be used it makes sense to use many more namespaces to make the wiki more manageable, but on the other hand using standard MediaWiki has many advantages. Using unmodified MediaWiki would just require stricter syntax within the articles
Governance
We need a summarum of the currently existing Wiki Governace Practices here and study each one and the resulting model that we will use will likely be a synthesis of numerous existing models
Other Open Questions
The most basic subquestion is: How to avoid redundant copy-pasting between wikis? There is already information on companies, brands, labels and such in Wikipedia and Disinfopedia. How will the recording of such information be coordinated to benefit the consumer in her/his search for knowldge on offered products?
How to handle the internationalization?
Should all language versions strive to contain the same information or how should we go about this?
