How it works/Tips & guidelines

Once that you are provided with an account, and with the privileges to edit your organization page and subpages, just keep in mind the following guidelines and principles.

• By contrast to what you would expect, wiki is not user-friendly. This, indeed, at first may hurt you, but actually that is the requisite to create not only quality contents, but also contents not constrained in a specific formatting standard. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to initiate a cooperation with your IT (information technology) department to send forth and back to it your contents, in order to reach the desired results shortly. Of course, also your students with some IT skill might be involved in that work. However, inasmuch as they are typically good, their expertise could be not sufficient, and the final revision of your pages should be always reviewed by professionals.

• Because the point above, Cultura italiana foresees that you can send such contents to the email address redazione@culturaitaliana.org and the editorial staff will create for you your organization's pages, for free. However, this is not the best solution on the long term since by this way you will be prevented to structure your pages in an autonomous way and the editorial staff will be required to ask you all the necessary information via email, and you will have to address continuously to them for any non-minor editing.

• On a first stage, edits or creation of your pages will be moderated. That means that once an administrator does not grant you with the role of "moderator", your edits or created pages will be not publicly visible until they are not approved by an administrator. Usually we expect that contents have to be moderated until a user or a center of Italian language and culture shows a sufficient expertise (however this is ensured), or its set of pages reaches a certain degree of completeness: after that, its affiliated users will be assigned to the role of "moderator" and their edits will not required of being approved.

• Independently by your status as "moderator", as affiliated to a given organization, you will be able to edit only your organization'page and the related subpages (which can be arbitrarily created), plus, to create or edit any content created using the forms "Add opportunity", "Add reading suggestion", "Add digital library", or any other form meant to create common contents (not intended to your organization's page and subpages), but you will be prevented to edit, create, move or delete any other page of this wiki.
