Step 2: Contact the M3Wiki Team
Email library@mmtproject.org with the subject 'Glossary Adoption'.
Include in your (brief) email:
- Any relevant information about your background and interest in volunteering;

Start editing an existing page or create a new page.
New Pages
To create a new glossary page, add a line to the Glossary Index and relevant List page (in alphabetic order) using the following format:
- * [[Glossary/Example|Example]]
Then double click on the newly created hyperlink and populate.

Glossary pages are a constant work-in-progress - we encourage editors to aim for ever-greater nuance, detail, context, and references.
That said, during the preliminary expansion phase we are generally prioritizing breadth over depth, so would prefer people spend 20% of the time to get to 80% page completion on multiple pages, than devote the other 80% of the time chasing the last 20% on any individual page.
As a general rule of thumb, 'initially complete' pages should satisfy the "1-2-3" rule:
- 1 general paragraph about the item;
- 2 paragraphs about its relationship to MMT (the first focusing on direct/immediate relevance, the second providing broader contextualization and nuance)
- 3 bibliographic references (included in a dedicated sub-folder on the Zotero library)
