This is the legacy site, built with MediaWiki software (like Wikipedia uses). Experimentally, ''new pages are now being started as, and key older pages converted to, Google Docs'' instead: formatted in a common way and with common navigation headers tying them together, reached by subdomain URLs, i.e. links in the form '''https://[ArticleTitle].housing.wiki''', where [ArticleTitle] is the article title, with spaces removed, case insensitive. For example: https://socialhousing.housing.wiki.
open to anyone, requires account with email confirmation.&nbsp;<br/> New content/edits go&nbsp;live immediately, though may be reviewed and changed by editors later. &nbsp;Change logs are reviewed regularly.&nbsp;<br/> &nbsp;
 
To start or suggest a new page, copy the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/13qVF-ftn0dzls-d4_v-ifUm9UB7RkVxxfwx7om62dso/edit?usp=sharing HousingWiki page template GDoc] and rename + edit it. Then contact [http://Mailto:editor@housing.wiki editor@housing.wiki] about how to incorporate it. It could be transferred so the GDoc is owned by HousingWiki, or it could remain owned by you. (so, effectively, this allows a type of decentralized / "federated wiki' -- for decentralized/federated documenting and organizing).
