Welcome to our community portal. This is the page to learn about using and editing the AoPS Wiki, discover what is currently ongoing on the AoPS Wiki, and view important guidelines and policies that editors should abide by.

About

Main article: AoPS Wiki:About

What makes AoPS Wiki different from other math-related wikis and web resources is that the AoPS Wiki is more involved in problem-solving techniques than most other math dictionaries or math encyclopedias (which are usually written on the level of professional mathematicians).

Getting Started

Main article: AoPS Wiki:Tutorial

The AoPS Wiki tutorial contains basic information about editing the wiki, including general syntax help.
To begin uploading and adding solutions to contest problems, take a look at AoPS Wiki:Contest Problem Standards.
Different namespaces include the talk, template, and category namespaces. Each serves to a different purpose.
Learn what AoPS Wiki is not a place for.
For other information regarding wikis, see the MediaWiki help contents.

Feel free to start testing your newly acquired wiki editing skills in the AoPS Wiki Sandbox!

Help Out

Main article: AoPS Wiki:Site Support

As a fairly new wiki, the AoPS Wiki needs the help of many contributors. Here are some ways to help improve the quality of the AoPS Wiki.

Create an non-existent article.
Edit existing articles to fix errors (both grammatical and mistakes) or to add more information.
De-stub an article.
Upload relevant images to the AoPS Wiki.
Add solutions to problems that lack them.
Suggest spamming and advertising articles for deletion.
Spread the word about the AoPS Wiki.

Requests

Creation: Logical notation, Thermal energy, Measure theory, Path, Sorting, more...

Stubs (946): Biology, Kernel, Logic, Field theory, Group theory, Ring theory, Set theory, Thermodynamics, Weight, more...

Image requests (66): Boolean lattice, Conic section, Directed graph, Sorgenfrey plane, more...

Edit protected pages (23): Template:Tutorial, Template:Edit-protected, Richard Rusczyk, Template:Stub, more...

Empty (20): 3D Rendering Mechanics, Brianchon's Theorem, Pick's Theorem, more...

Deletion (143): more...

Note: It would be appreciated if you would correct and update this list if the listed articles no longer belong in the section.

(Update)

Dirty Work

If you're really patient, you can do some of the boring work on the wiki:

Add the templates Template:Main, Template:Image, and Template:Stub to lacking articles.
Move the articles in the AoPS Wiki: namespace that are tutorials to the Help: namespace.
Transfer AMC/AIME/USAMO/IMO problems onto the wiki.
Put articles into categories. Here are some of the most lacking categories:
