/* How to Contribute */
Wiki [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting formatting/markup] is very straightforward. Just click 'Edit' at the top of the page—or next to the entry you want to modify—and mimic the format of existing entries. Not all entries list the specialties of faculty members or whether faculty members are willing to work with new students. If that information is known, please add it, since that is very helpful to prospective students.
<strong>Every program listed also has a separate Wiki Program Page</strong> where additional information can be provided to prospective students. While the style and format of this main page should be kept consistent, individual Wiki Program Pages can take any form whatsoever. To edit one of these pages, simply follow the Wiki Program Page link underneath the department listing of interest and edit that page. To add a Wiki Program Page, follow the directions [http://shamiller.net/philbio/index.php/Creating_Program_Pages here]. Unless otherwise specified, Wiki Program Pages presently contain the same information as the front-page listing, though that should change over time.
<strong>Programs with significant participation of affiliated faculty are strongly urged to use Wiki Program Pages</strong> for the purpose of listing them and explaining their role and involvement with philosophy of biology graduate students. Simply linking on the main page to affiliated faculty in, e.g., a history department, law school, medical school, etc., is likely to be confusing to prospective students who do not know how these individuals are connected to the Ph.D. program they are researching.<ref>The other downside of listing on the main page affiliated faculty whose connection to a philosophy of biology graduate program is unclear is that other contributors may remove them. This is, after all, a wiki.</ref>
