Welcome!
Congratulations on starting Aquaponics Wiki! It's a brand new project, so it needs a lot of love. Here are five tips to make your wiki great.


 * It's all yours right now -- enjoy it! Once your wiki takes off, lots of people will read what you write. Right now, nobody's looking over your shoulder yet, so feel free to try things out and make mistakes.


 * Make lots of short pages! The hardest thing about writing is looking at a blank page and not knowing where to start. It's a lot easier once you write down your first couple sentences. So take a deep breath, and jump in -- make ten really short pages, one right after another. Once you've started, you can build the pages up slowly, adding a little bit at a time.


 * Link your pages together! Links help you and your readers get from one page to another, so whenever you mention the subject of another page, use the "Add a Link" button to make a link to that page. You should also use the front page to link to all of the most important pages on your wiki. Describe what your wiki is about on the main page, and include links to help your readers find their way around.


 * Add pictures! A well-chosen picture can make a bland wiki page come to life. When you're writing a page, use the "Add a Picture" button to upload a picture from your computer onto the page.


 * When you're ready -- tell your friends! Once you've started a bunch of pages, linked them together and added some pictures, you'll be ready to start showing off your wiki to the world. You probably know people who are interested in the same thing that you are, so tell your friends to check out your new site. Those are your first readers and potential contributors, so give them lots of encouragement.

A good way to stay up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia is to visit our Staff blog. If at any time you get stuck, feel free to write to us through our contact form -- we're happy to help!

Have fun!

wanna help, got content ;-)
Hey LSA!

I am just diving into the world of aquaponics and right now i am working on another wiki on that topic in german language. That wiki is also in an early stage with about 50 pages at the moment, partly exported and modified from de.wikipedia

I consider to change the platform to wikia. Right now it's a shared server of another APer which is fine, but it seems we both don't share the same goals for "his" wiki. The content is licensed unter GFDL 1.3 so a move to wikia and relicensing to CC-BY-SA should be no problem.

I already have founded a wiki here, it's the Petro Wiki(300+ pages) which, I have to admit, is rather inactive at the moment because I didn't manage to get a stable, active community around it yet :-(

But I did not abandon PW as it may seem.

As I'm not a fan of "inventing the wheel twice", I'd like to join this aquaponics-wiki to merge the two projects instead of creating a separate, german aquaponik wiki on wikia.

That would mean we would have to make this wiki multilingual. No problem as wikia supports that. I will translate german content to english language as far as my skills suffice,

So... what do you think, are you interested?
