<b>Please do not create stub articles</b>; if you have a short spiel about something CTY-relevant, put it under the correct category in the [[Lexicon]], unless the page is already on the [[Special:Wantedpages]] list.  Also, article subjects that could be condensed into a single page (for example, the places around campus, our current site-enhancement project) should be; if you have, for example, something to contribute on the Superquad, instead of writing a stub about Superquad, make a general page (formatted: Topic:XXX) for it to house other stubs, and also link to existing non-stub pages.  In this case, things about Superquad would go in [[Places:CAR]].

Also, make sure you understand Wiki's editing format.  As far as tags go, HTML is preferred over Wiki for bold, italics, etc.  Also, note that "br" tags are unnecessary when making a new paragraph, but they are for a single line break.  Please place "br" tags at the ends of lines, rather than at the beginning of the next line.
 
−
 
 
−
====Categories====
 
−
If you do create a new page, please categorize it properly. Put it under a site or two if applicable (if it's all sites, don't put it under any sites).  Categorize it as a Game, an Activity, a Student Group, a Traditions, etc.  Then, put the site and the other category together, and categorize it as that too (i.e., Lancaster Traditions).  Things that don't fall into any category go under "General."
 
−
 
 
−
====Page Series====
 
−
Some pages, in addition to categories, fall into series, such as Site:XXX, or Hall of Fame:XXX, or Staff:_________, or Song:____________, etc.  If you are making a page that would fall into a series, please format the title correctly (i.e., Series:name, w/o spaces).  Also, formate the pages like the other (for example, Hall of Fame uses third-level headings that start with the date and the site, Songs use second-level headings for Lyrics, and there is a specific lyrics format, etc.).
 
−
 
 
−
====New Project -- Places====
 
−
To help out the site, please contribute to the Places pages for your individual site.  If a page is not listed under the Basics section, name the page "Places:XXX", where XXX is the three-character site code, without the quotes.  This should include all full sections on the different places around campus, with links to off-campus places like Turkey Hill, Massey's, etc.  Look under the basics section for links to the pages, and start writing!
 
−
 
 
−
===Lexicon===
 
−
Keep things alphabetical, and brief.  Do not simply copy an article onto the Lexicon.  Especially refrain from doing the opposite, and copying Lexicon stubs into full-fledged article pages; this is unnecessary and becomes a hassle.

 Hello, all. I have a special request for all of you—to read and, if possible, take action on my June 20, 2012 open letter regarding the program's growing restrictions on student expression. Much thanks; I really do appreciate your time. —Max Wang, site administrator, RealCTY

  • Read this open letter to the CTY community.
  • Maybe if we write Center for Talented Youth on the Main Page, Google will notice us in a search of said words!
