What Is It?
The site is like Wikipedia, only it's devoted to Austin improv. It's here to accumulate useful information about shows, troupes, performers, and anything else relevant to our improv scene.

Who Can Contribute?
Anybody! To edit a page on the wiki, click the "Edit" link in the top right corner. To create a new page, click on any red link.

Alternately, you can type the title of a page you want to create into the search box and click "Go" -- if that page doesn't exist, the wiki will give you a link for creating it.

I haven't used a wiki before! How do I make my page look pretty?
First off, don't worry about it. It's *incredibly* easy for the rest of us to make the content you add look pretty. But it's hard (as in "impossible") for the rest of us to magically know the things that *you* know about the Austin improv scene. So be bold, make mistakes, and trust that the rest of this community has your back.

But if you want to learn about wiki markup, Help:Formatting gives a great summary.

If you'd like to make a new page for a troupe, a show, or a performer, try using this troupe page, this show page, or this performer page as a starting point. Open up one of those pages, click "Edit", copy the text for in the edit box, and ta-da! -- you can copy that into a new page, replace text as needed, and you're good to go.

How Do I Show Up in the Performer Category?
To ensure that your wiki page shows in in the Performer category, add the following code: [[Category:Performer|x]], where "x" stands in for your last initial. That ensures you'll be properly alphabetized on the Performers page.

How do I upload a picture?
This is the page for uploading images. Fortunately for us, all the AIC photographers I contacted (Jon Bolden, Steve Rogers, Roy Moore, Menelaos Prokos, and Claudio Fox) are cool with your using their photos on the AIC wiki, so long as you do three things:

• Credit them in the picture's description.
• Link back to the original photoset if you can.
• In the "licensing" dropdown, select "The copyright holder gave me permission to use this work only in AIC Wiki articles."

For an example of following these three rules, look at this photo.

(Also, Courtney Hopkin and Kaci Beeler are cool with having their poster designs on the AIC Wiki, under those same conditions.)

I have a problem with the site! Who do I call?
Either Kevin Miller or Peter Rogers can probably handle your issue.

As site administrators, they can do things like delete files, protect pages (meaning nobody can edit them), and even grant other people admin privileges, should you be interested in that.
