Unfortunately, I’m not very familiar with the Wiki markup language, so I will probably be slow to make progress by myself. Therefore, I am posting it here and hoping that other dedicated Lemmings will contribute to it.

    I don’t know what else to add to the page. I started looking at the API to see if maybe I could drop some stats about posts per day and stuff. Otherwise I could steal users, posts, and comments from the homepage…

    I’ll try trolling /c/announements to see if any news can be put from there.

    Question: did you mean to point at your fork of Lemmy?

      I’m thinking of just describing the project, its goals, and how it works.

      If you know how to create the sidebar that are on many Wikipedia pages (on Mastodon’s article, for example), please create one for Lemmy. Not just you, but anyone who sees this.

      No I didn’t. I guess I wasn’t paying attention to which repo I was clicking on. I’ve fixed it.

        Pulled up the template page and tried to make that infobox you were talking about. Not sure how to upload the Lemmy logo from the repo (or if it should be uploaded). In order to include it in the infobox. Probably bc I am too lazy to make a wiki account…

          /u/dessalines any concern with uploading the lemmy favicon to wikipedia to call out in the page info box? Not sure if the AGPL extends to the artwork. Might try to create an account and figure out uploading graphics.

              Oh wow, it was right there on the readme.md file! I blew right past that looking into the repository when I was looking at stuff lastnight.

                And now I need 10 edits and 4 days before the account goes live to upload and link the image…

          I will continue to learn the MediaWiki format when I have time, hopefully we (anyone else who wants to contribute and I) can get it presentable before it is (hopefully :crossed fingers:) approved by Wikipedia.
