welcome to
WIKISPORE
experiments

Our wiki is the open space where your ideas can be nurtured and bloom!

It is created and maintained to empower experiments in wiki-making forms and new content.

The idea was inspired by a recurring theme that came up at the 2019 NYC Wiknic, that expanding partnerships and diversity requires greater flexibility with the starting of new "spore" mini-projects to support new directions for the Wikimedia movement.
spores
Wikispore consists of spores, which are experimental mini-wikis. Each spore is, or will be, hosted in its own namespace.

The following spores have been assigned their own namespace:

leaves
Spores consist of pages called leaves. Each spore has its own inclusion criteria and style guide for its leaves.

Leaves incorporate a variety of suitable sources, such as oral knowledge.

Exemplary leaves can be awarded a A Roman-style wreath laurel for excellence through a community process.
tripod
The tripod principles are the practices guiding and defining Wikispore as a project. They are as follows:
  • Put down roots... by linking every page to a Wikidata item where possible.
  • Dig carefully... by only making extensive use of primary sources and original research when reasonable and well-established.
  • No weeds... by not tolerating harmful content or behavior, given the risks of our wider inclusion criteria.
join us
There are a few ways to help the project thrive: you can focus on the content of existing spores so they can take root and develop, or you can pollinate ideas for a totally new spore!

Join us and become a Wiki farmer, or learn more with our frequently asked questions!

We recommend you to log in using your existing Wikimedia account. This works through the magic of OAuth!
