Guide to writing wiki requests/es

Hello there! I bet you're excited to request a wiki on Miraheze. Before you do, however, it's important to know how to write a wiki request. In this guide, we'll review what should and shouldn't be in a wiki request and follow the process of writing a request.



Antes de escribir la solicitud
Antes de hacer la solicitud, asegúrate de que no hay ninguna wiki con un propósito similar o idéntico. Si existe, contribuye a esa wiki en vez de solicitar crear una wiki nueva. Si la wiki esta cerrada, puedes solicitar que sea re-abierta.



Anatomía de una solicitud
Puedes solicitar una wiki aquí. En esa pagina, veras el siguiente formulario:
 * Subdominio (subdominio.miraheze.org): Un campo de texto donde debes poner el subdominio de la wiki.
 * Nombre de la wiki: Un campo de texto donde debes indicar el nombre de la wiki
 * Idioma: Un menú en el que debes seleccionar el idioma de la wiki.
 * Categoría: Un meno donde debes seleccionar la categoria de la wiki. Asegúrate de seleccionar la categoría que mejor describe la wiki. Puedes seleccionar de estas categorías:


 * Wiki privada (solo puede ser leída por los usuarios con el grupo de miembro u administrador): Selecciona esto para hacer accesible esta wiki solo a ti y aquellos a los que desees dar acceso.
 * ¿Sera el/uno de los tema(s) principal(es) de tu wiki gente actualmente viva? Si seleccionas esta opción, aceptas que el tema principal de tu wiki es gente.
 * El tema de esta wiki es... Esta es una lista en la que puedes seleccionar el tema de la wiki para que sea mas fácil de encontrar en WikiDiscover. Puedes seleccionar los siguientes temas:

If your wiki doesn't fit well with any of these, select "None of the above". If you select this, a wiki creator may assign one closest to the scope you present, or you may have a harder time getting the request approved.
 * Reason: This is the most important input. In this one, you describe your wiki's purpose, topic, and scope. Make sure you put in sufficient detail, as described in "What a wiki request should contain" below. If wiki creators believe that your wiki may violate the Content Policy, they may decline the request even if you have described a sufficent purpose, topic, and scope.



Escribir una solicitud
Ahora que sabes como es el formulario de solicitudes, deberías saber que poner en tu solicitud.



Que debería contener una solicitud
Las solicitudes deberían contener lo siguiente:
 * Un tema claro (por ejemplo: "Esta wiki esta dedicada a satirizar varios temas de actualidad.")
 * El tipo de contenido que la wiki va a contener (por ejemplo: "Tendrá una descripción humorística de cada tema.")
 * Su ámbito (por ejemplo: "Cualquier tema que no sea poco conocido tendrá una pagina en la wiki.")
 * Un subdominio relacionado con el tema de la wiki (¡recuerda poner el subdominio en el campo de texto dedicado para subdominios!) (por ejemplo: "satira.miraheze.org") Nota: El subdominio tiene que estar relacionado con el tema, evita que sea demasiado corto/genérico, y no debería superponerse con un dominio ya existente.



Que no deberían incluir las solicitudes
Never put any of this in your wiki request:
 * Content unrelated to the wiki you are requesting, known as filler (ex. "Me and my friends played Minecraft.")
 * A generic subdomain (ex. "wiki7.miraheze.org")
 * Spam (or trolling) requests (ex. "uthfazrsfhfjfit7dt", "theudfhuehfuwefhirehgirhgjfolro")
 * Any content that violates the Content Policy (ex. "I would like a wiki to advertise my business.", "This wiki will be about racial stereotypes.")
 * Wikis that are setup solely for harassment (ex. "This wiki will expose horrible people and/or users.", "This wiki will slander many users, so we can gain clout off of it, hahaha!") will be declined immediately.

What to put in "reason"
The following are good and bad examples of what to put into the "reason" field in the wiki request form. Good examples are marked with green while bad examples are marked with red.

Good examples
This wiki will document about the online video sharing service YouTube. It will document its history, its content creators, its achievements, and the videos hosted on it. Most of its pages would be pages about popular youtubers, popular videos, and important events. This request has a clear purpose (documenting YouTube, its features, and the people who upload videos on it) and scope (only popular YouTubers and videos and important events)

This wiki will be all about wikis. It will document wikis with at least 50 pages as well as wiki farms and wiki engines, all from an encyclopedic point of view. This request may be short, but it does its job. In only 2 sentences, it described the wiki's purpose (documenting information about wikis), topic (wikis and wiki-related things), and scope (wikis with at least 50 pages).

This wiki will be about an imaginary world where the only living things on it were turtles. It would document about imaginary villages, cities, species, and other things in the imaginary world. The imaginary world would have high technology advancement. Another slightly short request, but again, it does its job. It described the wiki's purpose (This wiki will be about an imaginary world), topic (where the only living things on it were turtles), and scope (It would document about imaginary villages, cities, species, and other things in the imaginary world...).

I'd like to create this wiki to save notes for my class. The notes will be general notes such as interesting things and things I want to study about later. It would have lots of notes and some other stuff, such as some interesting or hard questions. (Visiblity: Private) This request is slightly unclear, but acceptable for a private wiki.

Bad examples
This wiki will be about wikis considered bad by the general community. It will outline the reasons why it's considered bad and the redeeming qualities, if any, it has. Pages about users will not be allowed on this wiki. Although this request has a sufficent purpose and topic, it is likely to cause drama and hate.

This wiki will document about YouTube and its creators. This request is not very clear. Will the wiki be about all YouTube creators or just popular ones? Will it document about hated YouTubers or not? If yes, will it violate the Content Policy or it will establish rules to delete everything policy-violating?

Recientemente, Fandom ha estado cerrando wikis inocentes sin motivo, por lo que nos gustaría tener nuestra wiki en Miraheze para poder personalizar el aspecto de la wiki. Nos gustaría usar la wiki para documentar un juego MMO. Esta solicitud utiliza la mención de Fandom como relleno. La solicitud se puede resumir en "Nos gustaría usar la wiki para documentar un juego MMO", dicho juego sin embargo no es mencionado.

Una wiki sobre mi mundo imaginario. Aunque las wikis sobre mundos imaginarios suelen tener una descripción corta, esta solicitud es muy poco clara.

Esta wiki sera usada para defamar a usuarios y gente porque les odiamos, ¡y queremos que tengan una mala reputación! Esta solicitud es un ejemplo de que no escribir cuando estés escribiendo una solicitud, y sera rechazada.

Example request
Now that we've reviewed the basics of wiki requests, let's follow the wiki requesting process of a user who, one day, decided to request a wiki. Here is that user's first wiki request: When the user submitted it, however, the request was declined. What was wrong with the wiki request? There were several things: The user didn't give up on the wiki, however! The user thought about how the wiki request could be improved and made changes. Here is the user's second request: This request was approved! It had several major changes:
 * Subdomain (subdomain.miraheze.org): fandomarchives
 * Wiki name: Archives
 * Language: en - English
 * Category: History
 * Private wiki (not readable by everyone; only readable by users given the member or sysop groups): No
 * Will this wiki's main subject(s) be about living people? No
 * The purpose of this wiki is... Documentation (software) wiki
 * Reason: I want to archive fandom events
 * 1) The user did not type out the subdomain correctly. Remember, your subdomain should be in the form subdomain.miraheze.org.
 * 2) The wiki's name didn't fit well with the wiki. A name such as "Fandom Archives" would be better.
 * 3) The user chose a category that didn't fit well with the wiki's purpose. Granted, no category fits well with the wiki's purpose, so the user would've been better off selecting "Uncategorized".
 * 4) The purpose of the wiki the user chose didn't fit well with the wiki's actual purpose. The closest purpose would be "Encyclopedia (specialized) wiki", since it documents events that happened in Fandom. The user could've also chosen "None of the above".
 * 5) The user didn't give enough details about the wiki. "I want to archive fandom events" says nothing about the wiki's topic and scope. A better reason would be the following: "My wiki will be about documenting events that happened on Fandom for easy access in the future. The events documented on this wiki will be important, such as a massive vandalism wave on a popular wiki. It will contain primary sources for accuracy, such as transcripts of conversations that users involved in the events had. It will also have chronologies of series of events."
 * Subdomain (subdomain.miraheze.org): fandomarchives.miraheze.org
 * Wiki name: Fandom Archives
 * Language: en - English
 * Category: Uncategorized
 * Private wiki (not readable by everyone; only readable by users given the member or sysop groups): No
 * Will this wiki's main subject(s) be about living people? No
 * The purpose of this wiki is... Encyclopedia (specialized) wiki
 * Reason: My wiki will be about documenting events that happened on Fandom for easy access in the future. The events documented on this wiki will be important, such as a massive vandalism wave on a popular wiki. It will contain primary sources for accuracy, such as transcripts of conversations that users involved in the events had. It will also have chronologies of series of events.
 * 1) The subdomain was changed to an appropriate one.
 * 2) The user changed the category and purpose to fit better with the wiki.
 * 3) The user expanded on the reason, adding what type of content the wiki will have and its purpose.
