Overview
To become a contributing member of Centiare, you ought to add some content to our directory. And here's the good news: adding a listing is easy.
First, you need to register for an account (see Centiare:Registration for more details). Only registered users may create or edit content on Centiare.
Second, make sure you have thoroughly searched Centiare to confirm that an article about your topic isn't already established.
Then, if you're certain your topic has not yet been addressed, you must next decide if your listing really belongs in the Directory Space, or whether it is more suitable for the Main Space pages (or even User Space).
Directory Space topics should include anything that has standing in a court of law:
- Commercial businesses (use business name, not service or industry)
- Non-profit organizations and foundations
- Formally organized or registered private clubs
- Governmental bodies
- Living persons (including yourself)
- Deceased persons who still have an active legal estate
- Property or products (such as Mickey Mouse or Microsoft Word), which should be created as a sub-page of the company listing
- --For example, [[Directory:The Walt Disney Company/Mickey Mouse]] or [[Directory:Microsoft/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Word]]
Note: during this important time of building up our new directory, users are allowed to create Directory Space articles about entities which they do not own or have a legal interest in. Of course, you may not use Centiare to libel others. Also, if and when the rightful owner of an article topic appears, they can and will "claim" the space, which will be transferred immediately by a Centiare sysop.
Main Space pages should include everything else that doesn't have standing in a court of law. This would include things and processes like:
Add a Directory Listing
Template:Centiare:Listing/Add
Add a Main Space Article
If you wish to create a Main Space article (remember, it must conform to NPOV), simply click your cursor so that it appears after the : in the text box below, then type the name of the article as you want it to appear in Centiare, then click Go! The screen will be pre-populated with text, Infobox and graphic (image) information derived from Heating_oil. All you need to do is save the form (feel free to preview first), then go back and replace and edit the respective information so that it describes the new article information (don't forget an image), and not Heating oil:
