How to contribute Patterns

The patterns on zodiac.wiki describe common problems and offers practical responses for organizations. By co-developing and co-organizing a pattern language together, the hope is that deeper insight will be revealed.

Adding a pattern to zodiac.wiki is a quick and easy process. Here is a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Visit Patterns and ensure your pattern doesn't already exist.

  • If your pattern or a similar pattern already exists, you have the option to edit the existing pattern. Simply click the "Edit" tab at the top of any pattern's page.
  • In the context of zodiac.wiki, patterns are called Pages and pattern categories are called Subcategories

2. Create a page for your pattern. How you write the pattern is ultimately up to you, but here are a couple of options to get you started:

  • via a template: follow instructions on how to use a template to start your pattern here.
  • via Search: enter the title of your pattern into the search bar at the top right of the site, hit enter, then click the name of your pattern on the results page to "create the page."

3. Add your pattern into the editing field, using wikitext markup to stylize and format the text.

  • See the Zodiac Wikitext Cheatsheet for a table of the most common markup options for zodiac.wiki.
  • Note: It is recommended to write and/or save your pattern outside of zodiac.wiki's editing mode, as technical errors and connection issues could potentially lead to lost content.

4. Determine which subcategory or subcategories (a.k.a. tags) fit with your pattern and add to the bottom of your post.

  • All patterns should have [[Category:Patterns]] at the bottom of the post.
  • Current subcategories can be found here.
  • If you'd like to add a new subcategory, simply add a new tag.
  • Note: Pattern subcategories are intended to be fluid and emergent. All are susceptible to change.
