Welcome to the Wiki Wiki Enthusiast. Please also read the general welcome.

We have a different set of goals and social norms than wikipedia. Entries tend to be written in a more familiar style, and we generally encourage creative editing when it helps explain the content of a page. You'll note that opinions pervade the wiki: ultimately, we aim to integrate comments into the content of the article, but we also respect the power of comments in conveying how many people support one side of an issue.
-
Our markup is also a little bit different, see Help with Editing.
-
We are not a neutral point of view (NPOV) wiki. We think it's good to establish and develop multiple points of view within the text of a page, rather than get lost in trying to enforce some arbitrary sense of neutrality.
-
Talk pages are available, but tend not to be used very much. Unless a big dispute is going on, it's probably better to just ask a question on an article, or just edit the page and see what happens.
-
As this is a locally-oriented website, we encourage original research from those who know best — firsthand observers. We also try to keep the site Boise-related, though some pages of interest outside the city are kept around.

You have to register an account to edit this wiki, because it allows us to build a stronger community than anonymous edits would bring.
