Becoming a Wiki Editor

It is intended for this Wiki to be developed through volunteer efforts by the Fix the Tax Treaty! community. However, to ensure that submitted Wiki material is appropriate and on-topic, a number of controls are in-place.

This section aims to provide:

  1. Details of the process by which you can become a Wiki editor
  2. Wiki content guidelines
  3. Editorial rules
  4. Moderation and Review
  5. Education links to “how-to” manuals & tutorials on the DokuWiki software and how the mark-up language works, so that new editors can get up and running as fast as possible!

1. How to become a Wiki Editor.

The FTT Wiki is not open to be edited by the general public. To add or modify content, you first must apply and be approved by the FTT Administrators. Once approved, the Admins will set-up your Wiki edit rights and notify you.

If you have fully read this page and wish to become an Editor, please:

  1. Send an Email request to become and editor to gstreet(at)fixthetaxtreaty.org (please replace the “(at)” with @ - trying to avoid spambots!)
  2. Your email

2. Wiki Content Guidelines

The purpose of the Let's Fix the Tax Treaty! group is to influence the Australian Government to resist unfair and unjust US extra-territorial taxation. Information within this Wiki must be consistent with the group's purpose or of directly relevant the FTT Stakeholder group.

This Wiki aims to present on-topic and quality (accurate and verifiable) information.

Before adding content, consider whether your planned information meets the Evidence Base Requirements below.

Evidence Base Requirements

Evidence generation should satisfy the following criteria (modified, after Unicef Advocacy Toolkit)

  1. Is the evidence grounded in solid research, preferably undertaken by experts?
    • Clear evidence – scale, severity, impact on lives
    • Based on research and rigour
    • “Killer” statistics
  2. Does the evidence highlight the root causes of the problem?
  3. Does the evidence provide convincing solutions to the problem?
    • Feasible solutions … Reliable & relevant
  4. Is the evidence complimented with qualitative analysis when it is quantitative, and vice versa?
  5. Is the evidence complimented by human impact stories that highlight the personal and human dimensions of the problem
  6. Can the evidence be easily disseminated?
  7. Is the evidence timely?

3. Editorial Rules

4. Moderation & Review

5. Learning DokuWiki
