Come enjoy food, drinks, and company!
Come out to show your support for community wikis at Davis Wiki Night, hosted by Sophia's Thai Kitchen. The event is today, Wednesday, September 1st, from 5pm until close. Hang out with fellow wikizens and help our pledge drive just by eating and drinking. Sophia's will donate a portion of all proceeds from both the restaurant and the bar to the Wiki. There will be wiki stickers and possibly a raffle for Sophia's gift certificates.
Also, stay tuned for the Wiki's silent auction at Rominger West Winery on Thursday, September 9th from 4-7pm!

2010-04-01 Rumors of the demise of the wiki were due to the day (April 1st). A new Back Page replaced the Front Page and in a stated effort to "save power" and to "save pixels" the site slowly faded to black over the day, with shrinking text.

Hints for Editing
A good place to start is by checking out the Davis Wiki Guide.
A Wiki is a linked set of pages that anybody can edit and contribute to if they have the time, access to internet, and a computer.
Wikipedia is the prime example of a successful wiki project. Also, check out
Why Wiki Works for some information on the philosophy of wiki.
If you want to practice editing you can play around in the Wiki Sand Box, or you may first want to check out our FAQ. We also have a list of All Pages in the wiki.
Feel free to make new pages — and try to remember to link them. Also, if you don't know where to start or don't have any ideas, check out To Do.
To see the most recent edits made you can look at the Recent Changes page. Also, be sure to check your userpage as people will at times leave you comments on there.
