/* 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>Separate Program Pages can be created on the wiki</strong> to provide additional information to prospective students. So, if you are a faculty member or a student in a department&mdash;or are just a fan&mdash;you are heartily encouraged to create a separate page where prospective students can learn more about the program. Programs with significant participation of affiliated faculty are also strongly urged to create Program Pages 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>
While the style and format of this main page should be kept consistent, individual Program Pages can take any form whatsoever. <strong>See the 3-step directions for creating Program Pages [[Creating Program Pages|here]]</strong>. Examples of Program Pages can be found [http://shamiller.net/philbio/index.php/University_of_Cincinnati here] and [http://shamiller.net/philbio/index.php/University_of_California,_Davis here].
