 What can I do

with WikiFundi? WikiFundi is an offline editable environment that provides a similar experience to editing Wikipedia online.

How to create and modify pages
WikiFundi is a wiki, which means you can modify all pages by clicking on the "edit" button at the top right of each page. Please note that WikiFundi require you to create an account. If you need help on how to do that and on the syntax to use, please look at how to edit a page, how to write your first article, and how to format a page. You can see how to construct and arrange articles looking at our article showcase. Its also a good idea to check out the Wikipedia's Manual of Style and Words to watch. You may also choose to experiment in the Sandbox.

Ask at the Baobab
Across the continent, the baobab tree is traditionally used as a place to hold important discussions that affect the community. On this page you can discuss any tasks or questions you have about the editing process. These questions can be answered by your facilitator, or your friends or fellow students. There are no foolish questions! See more at Baobab Discussions  Get Writing! Get Started!

Guidelines and resources
The majority of people who will be using these tools and participating in the writing contest will be entirely new to Wikipedia. For this reason, we compiled a comprehensive list of resources, guides and cheatsheets to assist new editors in compiling their first articles, and develop their wiki knowledge further.

You can find more about the policies behind Wikipedia through reading about the Five pillars, Core content policies, Neutral point of view, Notability, No original research, Verifiability, Identifying reliable sources, Citing sources and What Wikipedia is not.

Showcase of good Wikipedia articles
To show how articles about specific subjects should be structured and written, we provide you with a Showcase of featured Wikipedia articles. There is also an excellent guideline on Guidance for younger editors.

Edit and Create!
We know you want to get started! So we have made it easy for you with articles on how to edit, how to create your first article, and how to format your page so the information comes out right. Once you are ready ... click on this page to start your articles.
