Stylecards projects
Stylecards has a few projects going on, as described below. While some of them are specific to our website or something we do, we hope other residents and influencers can be recruited to help with the others.
The Red Links Project
The Stylecards website runs on MediaWiki software, which is the same software that runs Wikipedia. The software makes it very easy to link to other pages on the same website, but if a page doesn't exist, the link will be red.
The Red Links Project is meant to turn the red links into blue ones by creating enough articles that read links are rare. As a new website, this is very much an issue and one that will require a lot of work. If you're interested in helping us to red links into blue ones, check out the Stylecards Café to find out more about getting an account.
The Stub Project
One way to turn a red link into a blue one is to create a stub article. A stub is a very short article that might consist of a sentence or two. While it's helpful for the Red Links Project, it's not high quality content. Articles on this website should be informative and useful to the people who read them, and it's unlikely a stub article will do this.
The ultimate goal of the Stub Project is meant to find stub articles and turn them into ones that are useful and informative. Barring that, the project aims to identify stub articles and add a stub template to make them easier to find. If your interested in helping out, be sure to take a look at the Stylecards Café.
The Images Project
Ever since Second Life gave us the ability to add images to folders and other items, we've lamented the many older items in our inventories that don't have images that show what they are, or that come with images that aren't square.
The Images Project is something any Second Life resident with a social media account can help with. The goal is to take photos of any inventory items that lack one, or lack a square one, then post it to social media, preferably one that allows people to download them. If you're interested in helping out, but don't have a social media account, or don't want to post images to it, take a look at the Stylecards Café page to find out how to get an account on this website and you can post them here.
