Welcome to the CreationWiki!

We thank the Lord for your willingness to serve Him by participating in the development of this educational resource. The CreationWiki is a collaborative effort and your help is needed. Our hope is that by working together we can build an archive of knowledge that will spread the truth of His creation throughout the world.

Please note that only creationists are permitted to edit articles. New editors are encouraged to visit the community portal to find ways of getting involved. It is also important to familiarize yourself with policy, such as the requirements for uploading images. The CreationWiki has been equipped with numerous help files that are essential for people unfamiliar with editing using the Mediawiki software.


 * Policy - We now ask that editors provide references to support all article content.
 * Creating a new page - Simply enter a title for your new article and click "Create page".
 * Editing Help - Authoring within the CreationWiki may require a little education.
 * Formatting Help - Formatting pictures and creating tables will help make your pages professional.

Cell Biology article
What you can do is acknowledge the change, so that we preserve a record of the change and why we made it.

Are you familiar with Interwiki tables? Here's an example:

Siege engine

Now when you click on the above, you'll leave our wiki and go to the English Wikipedia and its article titled "Siege engine."

But we have a twist, as you know. CreationWiki exists as CréationWiki (French), CreacionWiki (Spanish), Schöpfungswiki (German), TvoryeniyaViki (Russian), CriacãoWiki (Portuguese), Chinese and Korean versions that I'm afraid I cannot pronounce, and even BariyaWiki (Hebrew) and StworzenieWiki (Polish). Now when we have an article on any of these sites, we like to have a corresponding article on the English site, and as many other sites as we have active translators. So to create the link, you put in links like:

de:Zellbiologie

fr:Péché

or whatever. (On the actual article, leave off the first : character, and you will see a listing that says, "In other languages..." and that's where the link will appear.) The two letters before the middle : character are the ISO code for the language:


 * de - German
 * en - English
 * fr - French

and so on.

You have standing permission to translate just about anything here, except for a user page. If you want to translate your own user page, or maintain your own user pages on our various sites, go ahead. You don't need anyone's permission for that. But don't translate another user's page without asking. (However, I will permit you to translate my own user page from English into German, if you have time, so that I can improve my outreach on that site.) You may translate categories, or, on the German site, you could decide to categorize articles however you feel would make them easier to find. Never translate Discussion pages.

If you want to try to use Semantic notation, leave another note on my user page. I'll be glad to give you a tutorial. Semantic notation allows us to annotate relationships between and among articles, and also mark certain numbers, symbols, character chains, and even dates for later searching, and for instant conversion from one calendar to another. In regard to that last: Semantic MediaWiki is a product of one of your compatriots, a man named Markus Krötsch of Karlsruhe University, so I don't expect any serious errors of translation of month names, messages, and the like in the German-language internationalization file. But if you see anything that doesn't strike you as good idiomatic German, let me know. I have the authority to alter it.

Remember that Files (meaning Images, or, as I believe the word is in German, Bilder) always upload to a common pool. I regret to say that the pool remains an English-language wiki that shares its images everywhere else. That's its only limitation.
