A wiki 4.6 billion years in the making
The Wiki Prehistorica is a wiki dedicated to paleontology and prehistory. There are many wikis like this in existence, but we stand apart because our scope covers all aspects of the subject: the animals, the plants, the continents, and the people who discovered this ancient world. We cite our sources and list references in each and every article, but at the same time we are not a Wikipedia copycat because all our pages are started from scratch.

We have been around for over two years and yet have only just recently hit 100 pages. This is mainly due to the lack of contributors. If you are interested in paleontology, dinosaurs, or anything relating to them, this is the perfect wiki for you! We do follow a manual of style and have specific policies, but we have pages to guide you through this and help you become a respected contributor.

Anyone is welcome to come over and help out, and we appreciate any contribution. However, we are also looking for users with specific skills:


 * We are looking for users that can help with template design, coding, and/or skinning.

Admin Support (possibilities)
In addition, coding is far from being one of my strong points, so I'd like to learn the differences between pages like .css and .js, and figure out which codes go where in order to improve the design of the wiki. Finally, templates would be great to learn and finally get the hang of. I've already had a bit of experience with template design, but mostly from customizing pre-existing templates a bit. Learning how to build them from scratch would be a big help.
 * What does your wiki need assistance with? - Specifically, I am looking for assistance creating reliable policy and guideline pages and help with template design, coding, MediaWiki, CSS, JS, etc.
 * What would you like to learn from AMP? - Official policies are something this wiki definitely needs to thrive. There's a rules page already in place, but I don't think it will be sufficient once the userbase starts growing, so I would like to learn how to make these pages and tweak them a bit to fit the theme of the wiki.
