These pages are freely editable by anyone with an account that wishes to provide content to help create a multilateral view. By having many contributors of content WikiSTC hopes to achieve the most robust view possible in its articles.
Writing an articleBefore attempting to create a new article you should use the search feature to make sure that it has not already been written under that title or one very similar. If you use "try exact match" or "Go" and the search fails you will be presented with a "Create a page" link. Below is a search box provided for convenience.
As an introduction for users unfamiliar with editing the url in your browser to create a page, a form is provided below. Just type the name of your article you wish to create into the box below and click "Create article". It is best to write your article before hand and make use of spell checkers or other tools. When writing your article use the "show preview" button to check for errors or see how your changes will look before you commit to the database. This will cut down on the entries you create in recent changes or page history making your page easier to understand for other editors.

 Policies
Policies are standards that are strictly enforced to maintain some type of order on WikiSTC and prevent content from degrading into meaningless flame wars, personal attacks, and many other form of useless banter. Policies are not as numerous as guidelines and serve to set up hard boundaries of conduct, where guidelines offer suggestions on the best course of action. Policies can and will be enforced by any user, if you are enforcing a policy you must add a template to the talk or main page of the disputed content as a marker for other editors explaining why content was altered. While consensus is the preferred course of action before making any changes to content clear violations of policy should be changed immediately.
