The General Pop Account(s)
Previously you could only access this wiki on Escher WiFi, but as of September 2022 it is publicly accessible from any network! If you are on Escher WiFi, you will be logged into the 'Escher' user account. You cannot make edits from this account.
Steps to Making Your Own Account:
- Click here. Make sure you're on Escher wifi.
- Type your username and password. I'd enter your email too in case you need a password reset, but that is optional.
- Log in!
Note: We are currently setting up a better process for giving new accounts editing permissions. For now, please go to the Wiki channel on the Escher discord.
What should I edit?
I suggest mainly editing out-of-date information and adding pages as they become relevant. However, some have also found it humorous to add references to inside (and outside) jokes. While I would not discourage this I do encourage you to consider how it could potentially clog up pages with useful information. My suggestion would be to create new pages for these inside jokes and only reference them sparsely on pages that are meant to be more informational. However, since this is a communal website, I cannot stop you from making whatever changes you like!
When was the wiki last edited?
You can view the edit history by going here or by clicking the tab at the top right that says 'View History'. This wiki was last given a sweeping update in August of 2022 - sweeping as in I, the Summer '22 President, will have edited (almost) every single page for accuracy and thoroughness by August 17th, 2022. Woohoo!
Formatting Guide
Please organize important informational pages to the best of your ability, and for the humor pages..? Well, to quote the last editor of this page, "anarchy".
