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 Problems 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.

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: Category:3D-Geometry Category:Complex Number Problems Category:Coordinate Geometry Problems
