Patterns that work for similar series

• m:Wiki4YearOfSound2020
• will be in touch with Jen Dawson / Ottawa of Cochrane and WikiMed ; she has checklists or advice
• advice from Philly wikisalon on how to make nice little videos, in .webm format
• we can write a how-to manual for WHO vaccine people (e.g. VSN), or a more descriptive here's-what-there-is.

What would a manual cover?

Define terms, explain procedures, highlight possible conflicts and how to prepare and navigate them

• WikiMed
• Cochrane and its initiatives
• CDC/NIOSH
• Wikipedias in various languages; their standards
• Footnotes, categories, formatting, with exercises to do
• Wikidata -- many things to explain
• Commons -- how to set up to work there, and how
• Wikisource and other sites
• Copyright issues, with some how-to
• COI issues and how to prepare and handle them
• What an editathon is, how to find and join some

Alongside that definitional material we can give more specific lively advice

perhaps in colored boxes on the sides of pages -- It's less academic, and could go out of date more easily so it should be in a different format

• How a new user should ideally start
• Who they should ask for help -- us first, and various boards/lists
• Examples, e.g. of good articles, past Wikimedia conflicts that went badly
• Quotes from users on what they think is easy, or hard, or rewarding

Cite related works

• We can learn from analogous NIOSH efforts, or other WiR efforts, or other manuals for different fields, to document good practices
• I think there are other manuals to draw from and to cite
• Possibly Wiki Edu or Wikiversity has such manuals already

Format for this work?

• could be a PDF document
• could be wiki pages on wikidc.org
• could be wiki or web pages within their organization
• could be on Wikiversity, a place for training materials
