How to Contribute to Our Happiness Wiki[edit]
Welcome! Your insights can help others discover practical paths to happiness. Here’s how to contribute effectively:
Editing Pages[edit]
Find a Page: Browse or search for a topic you know well (e.g., "Mindfulness for Daily Joy").[edit]
Click "Edit": Look for the edit button (usually at the top or bottom of the page).[edit]
Make Your Changes: Add new sections, clarify existing points, or correct errors.[edit]
Preview & Save: Use the "Preview" button to check your changes before publishing.[edit]
Content Guidelines[edit]
Be Helpful: Focus on actionable, evidence-based advice (e.g., "Try a 5-minute gratitude journal" instead of "Be happy"). Cite Sources: Link to reputable studies, books, or expert articles (e.g., "Research from Harvard shows... [link]"). Respect All Views: Present information neutrally. Avoid absolute statements like "Everyone should do X." Acknowledge different perspectives respectfully.
What Makes a Good Contribution?[edit]
Concise & Clear: Get to the point. Use short paragraphs and bullet points for readability. Original Insight: Share personal experience with context (e.g., "After trying this for a month, I noticed...") or summarize key findings from credible sources. Practical Examples: Include specific, relatable examples (e.g., "Instead of 'exercise more,' suggest 'take a 10-minute walk during lunch'").
- Improves Existing Content: Enhance, don’t duplicate. Add value to current discussions.
