Changes: Fallout Wiki:The Vault Academy

Revision as of 08:04, 26 May 2022

Welcome, fellow Vault Dwellers, to the Vault Academy, proud subsidiary of the New User Network. At the Vault Academy, wiki users, both new and veteran, will have the opportunity to form bonds with each other and learn valuable skills at the same time.

Jumping into a wiki can be intimidating, so the programs aim to provide a stress-free environment in which users can learn the basics, former users can brush up on current format norms, and overall provide a training regiment that will set editors up for future success. No program is a prerequisite for another, but a general understanding of editing is beneficial before entering any program other than general editing. Users can join multiple programs at the same time, and there are no time requirements or deadlines.

General editing fundamentals are of the utmost importance from one's first edit onwards. Are you brand new to the wiki? General editing is a great place to start, and associated lessons will introduce mentees to the other parts of the community and other applicable training opportunities.

Advanced editing is designed for editors who have a foundational understanding of basic editing, by way of the general editing program or previous experience. The program includes a detailed review of how templates are constructed, how the wiki is maintained, and tools we can use to automate repetitive processes.

Technical editing is designed for editors who have a foundational understanding of advanced editing, by way of the advanced editing program or previous experience. Lessons are based on finding, extracting, and adding game file information as well as templating and formatting skills.

Chat moderation focuses on the skills necessary to thrive in the social aspect of our community, via our Discord server. Mentees will learn the structure of the Discord, guidelines that dictate user conduct, as well as skills in navigating conflict, fostering a positive culture, and offers hands on practice with bot commands.

-'''Community''' training is about connecting with the group that you wish to represent and being able to foster a healthy and friendly environment while leading it. This is done via two part of the Fallout Wiki, including:<br /><br /><br />
-* '''Discussions Moderation''': Also known as /d, a quickly-growing [https://fallout.fandom.com/d social medium] found across the Fandom network, instilling a casual and fast-paced environment for those looking to meet fellow ''Fallout'' fans. Mentors in this program will teach /d users how to create high-quality posts, how to prepare for upcoming changes to the /d platform, and provide the knowledge they'll need should they ever wish to help moderate and lead their newly acquired friends as [[Fallout Wiki:Administrators and moderators|Discussions Moderators]].
-* '''Discord Chat Moderation:''' Another social medium for the ''Fallout'' wiki, [[Fallout Wiki:Discord|Discord]] is where our users can gather around and talk freely, without the normal constraints of the mainspace wiki. Mentors are tasked with making chatters feel welcome, seeking feedback from the Discord community on how to improve upon the experience, and helping to learn the ropes in preparation to become [[Fallout Wiki:Administrators and moderators|Chat Moderators]]. Additional fundamentals include:
-** Successfully defusing and resolving disputes
-** Participating as either a project lead or as a TVA mentor
-** Seeing through both a forum discussion and vote
