title: Guidelines and Rules for Wiki Articles
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
Welcome to the wiki section of the forum.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We invite you to use, improve, and create new ones as you see fit. It is a great way to contribute to our community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We welcome anything relevant to software development, from tutorials to conceptual overviews to practical advice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyone with **Trust Level 1** (which you'll get automatically after hanging out reading articles for about an hour) can edit and create wiki post.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our moderators will edit, delete, or re-categorize anything that violates our <a href='https://www.freecodecamp.com/code-of-conduct' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Code of Conduct.</a> or doesn't belong in the wiki section (such as questions or challenges solutions).

## How to create a wiki article
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create your topic as you normally would
|
||
|
|
2. Click on the post's "..." menu, and select "Make Wiki"
|
||
|
|
3. Send a private message to [@Rafase282](/users/rafase282) to let him know you created an article and ease the transition of the ownership change
|
||
|
|
4. Please avoid writing in the first person, and don't sign the article or promote yourself via links. Don't worry - your authorship will be preserved as part of the article's version history.

## FAQ
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Why do I need to change ownership of the article to [@camperbot](/users/camperbot)?**
|
||
|
|
It helps us better track changes to the article, and prevents any vandalism of an article from reflecting poorly on its original author. It also gives everyone a [public place where they can track wiki activity](//forum.freecodecamp.com/users/camperbot/activity).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. **How do I transfer ownership?**
|
||
|
|
[@Rafase282](/users/rafase282) will eventually do this for you, but if you have a moment, [send him a message](//forum.freecodecamp.com/users/rafase282) to speed things up.
