Main Page

What's a Wiki? A Wiki is a web page which anyone can Edit. The intention is that if everyone contributes a bit then a great site is built. This concept has been fantastically successful on many sites of which wikipedia is perhaps the best example.

Getting Started? Welcome newbie! The best thing to do is start on the Help or Tutorial pages. This should explain a bit more about the ARRSEpedia and get you started. For help, the best thing to do is ask questions on the ARRSEpedia forum on ARRSE.

New to ARRSEpedia

The ARRSEPedia is a collection of vaguely encyclopedia-like articles about the Army Rumour Service, the British Army, military slang, and anything else that may be of interest to you and other users. The content is humorous, serious, sensible, stupid, decent and just occasionally a touch offensive.

The most important thing is that you or anyone else can contribute immediately with no interference. You can start new pages or edit existing ones. If you'd like to share your knowledge of Rations, feel free. We would all just love to know about Soviet AFV Recognition for example. What about your experience of operations or knowledge of Places and Postings? Anything in fact - in short, get writing, although do please have a look at the site policy before posting though.

Thoughts A few thoughts: Verbally assaulting other users isn't big or clever, it is in fact very boring. Copying entries from Roger's Profanisaurus isn't really worthwhile and also breaches Copyright. Please don't bother. Try and put pages in a Category when you edit/create them. Have a look at the Wanted pages pages if you want to start somewhere! We also need people to expand the articles currently marked as Stubs.

Editing: Before you edit, a couple of points: In order to edit the ARRSEPedia pages you need to create a separate account on here. It would be good if you used the same username as on the Main Site. Try and link pages to other pages using Links. If you edit a page, please note what you've done and why in the Summary box at the bottom of the page. Fancy trying somewhere it doesn't matter - then use the Sandbox. Finally - all edits on here are extremely easy to undo so don't worry you can't break it.....
