    Very nice

    Maybe before editing, a discussion of what information should be added?
    Get ideas for a Category List; a rough draft so-to-speak for structuring the information that will be entered. One could think of a wiki category as a crude "site map." The information entered should focus on WOT - the add-on, Against Intuition - the developers, and should not include help for other software. Mentioning other products would make it seem that WOT is officially endorsing them; I think that this is something Web of Trust would want to avoid. These are my opinions, I might be wrong so please offer some discussion.

    Wiki's have their own "language" I suggest people not familiar with editing Wiki pages should view the Help Section; this should answer most questions of "how" "where" and "why."

    I shall gladly offer time for content entry.
    I can't remember off hand who all participated in the Google Group "wiki" but I know that wehaveitall and phantazm were highly active, maybe they would offer assistance in transferring their hard work from Google Pages to www.mywot.com/wiki

    I have an active day today, I lurk this thread later this evening.

      I liked the idea of having more in-depth information about customizing the add-on in the wiki. We could copy the search rule documentation there and users can add rules for their favorite websites, for example.

      The information entered should focus on WOT

      I agree.

      re: Additional search rules

      Quick question
      Why ar the background IMG CSS properties different between the two examples?

      just curious.
      Also, you might want to edit and insert a CR between right bracket ] and left brace { to keep the text contained within the shaded block area.

        Simplified.

        I have simplified the style. The attributes were not really necessary (I just copy-pasted the examples).

    I've never written into a Wiki before, and I do not really know where to create a new page?

    I'm sure this is easy and obvious and I'm just stupid, but could someone explain...

    edit: nvm, found it.

    created

    I just created an article about activity scores, to see. I think this is something that interests quite many users. Is it possible to include translated pages as well like in Wikipedia?

      Re: created

      Wikipedia supports multiple languages by having multiple wikis. We should probably limit this one to English content.

        about activity scores

        Just thought of something...
        WOT currently includes activity that is directly related to a User's Activity Score as:
        Website Ratings
        Scorecard comments
        Website comments (Forum, Blog, Poll)
        Invitations sent to friends.

        will Wiki involvement (article contributions - new / edit) be included?

        just curious. :-)

      re: activities

      Could someone again give me the exact values of the activity scores when someone's rank changes so I can include them in the article? With the search feature I can only find no/inaccurate information.

    Add the Online threats

    http://www.mywot.com/wiki/Spam
    I did not mean to steal any information from the WOT website, I just thought that it would go well in that Wiki page.

    Please continue those series of Internet threats.

    Just MyWOT and SpywareBlaster, I guess... Found a malicious or fraudulent website? Rate it at WOT ASAP! Found a game hacker? Report it to the game's anti-cheat team! Infected with a virus? Delete it with an antivirus =P

    WOT Wiki

    I'm glad we can finally start an "official" Wot Wiki!

    Perfect timing too. I was just checking the wot forum since I hadn't in a while when I stumbled upon this topic :)

    We rate the websites, the WOT staff creates, and advertises the add-on, and together, we make it all happen.

    Great!

    I had been wondering in the past weeks: how was the status of the WOT WIKI?
    And I was just about to start a new thread with this topic.
    Not necessary now. Great news...!
