Edit-a-thon: Difference between revisions

* Go to another random page and repeat the process

The Edit-a-thon focused on:

* connecting content and improving search [[Edit-a-thon#Adding categories|adding categories]]

* improving [[Edit-a-thon#Accessibility|Accessibility]] ([[Edit-a-thon#Alt text|Alt text]], [[Edit-a-thon#Section headings|Section headings]], and [[Edit-a-thon#Color contrast|Color contrast]]) in honor of {{W|article=Global Accessibility Awareness Day}}

[[Category]] tags help keep related content together.  Adding these tags makes links at the bottom of the article which take you to the list of all pages in that category. They are now even more important since Saintapedia's [[Help:Search|new search]] will now allow you to use categories as a basis of a search or refine your search results using categories.

* Updating [[Saintapedia:Official categories|Official categories]], as needed

''<small>Edit at [[Help:Category#Adding categories|Adding categories]]</small>''

You can add categories with both editors ([[Edit-a-thon#Using Visual Editor|Visual Editor]] or [[Edit-a-thon#Using Enhanced editor|Enhanced editor]]).

In support of [[Global Accessibility Awareness Day]], we will also work to add:

*[[#Alt text|Alt text]]

*[[#Color contrast|Color contrast]]

Please see [[Saintapedia:Accessibility]] for more ways you can make Saintapedia accessible to everyone.

The December 2015 ran from December 28th through December 31st, 2015.  It focused on creating starter pages called [[stubs]].  A stub is an article that is too short to provide comprehensive coverage of the subject, but long enough to provide some useful information.
