IPoly Wiki

The IPoly Wiki, shortened to the Wiki, refers to the MediaWiki site created by Yoshi Askharoun in August 2017. The wiki was created with the express purpose of creating a community archive of IPoly's rich and unique culture. Although the Wiki was first created on August 19, 2017, the first page with actual content was That's Infotainment!, created on August 24, 2017.

Some analytics of the site can be found at Special:Analytics.

Platform
The Wiki is essentially identical to Wikipedia, but its content pertains exclusively to IPoly High School. It is built on the MediaWiki platform, just like Wikipedia, and is hosted for free by the generous staff at Miraheze.

Purpose

 * IPoly Wiki and IPolynesian Discord founder, Yoshi Askharoun

Viewers
Because the Wiki is public, everyone on the internet can view any of the pages, including some special pages such as User Pages and Special:Analytics. Viewers do not need to have an account to view content, nor does creating an account automatically grant editing abilities.

Editors
Only verified students, alumni, and staff may edit the Wiki. The Wiki's content is public, but anyone who wishes to become an editor must submit a form of verification. Students must use the process outlined at IPoly Wiki:Student Verification, while staff may use the process outlined at IPoly Wiki:Executive Verification. Editors must have a Wiki account in order to make changes.

Documentation regarding how to edit is still being written, but the Rules and Guidelines are a good place to start for now.

Administrators
Administrators have the ability to edit nearly all pages on the Wiki, including some protected pages. They are trusted with moderating the Wiki and its content against the Rules & Guidelines. Administrators may request from Executives for another admin to be removed if they themselves violate the rules and/or stop moderating.

Executives
Executives are teachers and other staff that have created and verified their Wiki account. Unlike students, they are not required to submit a Student Verification Form. Instead, they are encouraged to complete the process outlined at IPoly Wiki:Executive Verification. Executives may also let an Admin know they have joined by letting them know in person, though this is not recommended. In any case, Executives should include their Wiki username so the Admins know who's roles to update.

Rules
Although the Wiki is meant to be open, some rules must be in place. Editors may not post any potentially sensitive information without the explicit consent from the relevant parties. Under no circumstances should documents such as budgets be shared in any way. Any violations of the rules may result in the offending edits being rolled back and the user's editing privileges revoked.
