== The goal of the FusionWiki == | |||
The FusionWiki is a specialist wiki for information on [[Nuclear fusion|fusion]] and plasma physics research. | |||
There is an enormous proliferation of information on fusion and plasma physics, as a consequence of years of dedicated research in many countries. | |||
However, this information is mostly contained in specialist journals. | |||
There is no centralized index providing rapid access to this information in an organized manner. | |||
Therefore, the FusionWiki arises as an initiative to provide (Wikipedia-style) short summaries of research topics and issues of interest, with links to the main relevant articles or websites, irrespective of where this information is located. | |||
This centralized index function, if supported by a significant fraction of the research community, can develop into an important research tool and help students or other interested parties to find their way in the mass of information. | |||
Collaborative contributions of pages, as well as corrections and enhancements to existing entries, may help to develop this site into a high quality reference for fusion and plasma physics. | |||
Please check out [[FusionWiki:About|Target audience and proposed content of the FusionWiki]] for more detail. | |||
== Contributing == | |||
The FusionWiki is incipient and many pages are mere stubs or require significant improvement; | |||
worse, most topics still do not have a page. | |||
If you are active in the fusion field, you are invited to help! | |||
We would like to suggest that you include a short description of '''fusion-related issues within your field of specialization''', providing appropriate references and links. | |||
Do you find this initiative interesting and/or potentially useful? | |||
Please help us to improve by correcting errors, complementing information, or [[Help:Contents|adding content]]. | |||

== Monitoring page integrity == | |||
All help to maintain page integrity is welcome. | |||
=== Link validity === | |||
Over time, links to external websites may cease to be valid. If you detect an invalid link, please correct it. | |||
=== Spam and vandalism === | |||
As a consequence of past spamming attacks, the FusionWiki cannot be edited without authentication. | |||
However, the [https://wiki.fusion.ciemat.es/Fusionwiki_signup.html account sign-up procedure] is kept as simple as possible, and all constructive contributions are of course welcomed. | |||
In addition, some anti-spam and anti-vandalism measures are in place. | |||
