== What is OC RobotX Wiki? ==

OC RobotX Wiki is a '''WSU/OC Engineering Club Information repository''' making available public domain and freely-licensed club content (images, sound and video clips) to students and the public.

It acts as a common repository for the Engineering Club project '''RobotX'. The repository is created and maintained by WSU and OC Student volunteers. The scope of Wiki is set out on the [[project scope]] pages.

Wikimedia Commons uses the same [[w:wiki|wiki-technology]] as [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] and every registered user can edit it.

Launched on 15 Novermber, 2019, RobotX Wiki currently contains '''[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFFILES}}]]''' files and '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' media collections. More background information about the RobotX Wiki project itself can be found in the [[RobotX Wiki:General disclaimer|General disclaimer]].

Unlike traditional media repositories, RobotX Wiki is ''free''. Registered users are allowed to copy, use and modify any files here freely as long as they follow the terms specified by the WSU/OC Engineering Clubs; this often means crediting the source and author(s) appropriately and releasing copies/improvements under the same freedom to others. The license conditions of each individual media file can be found on their description page.

You can improve Wikimedia Commons most if you contribute what you can do best:

=== Contribute your work ===
If you're a good photographer, don't hesitate to contribute your valuable images. If you're a good designer, look which diagrams and animations are [[OCRobotX:Picture requests|badly needed]].

=== Contribute your skills ===
However you do not need to upload your own files. There is plenty of other very important work to do:

* [[:Category:Images for cleanup|Improve images]]
* [[:Category:Unidentified subjects|Identify unknown objects]]
* Contribute your legal knowledge on [[OCRobotX talk:Licensing|copyright questions]] and [[OCRobotX:Deletion requests|deletion requests]]

=== Contribute your time ===

You even do not need to be an artist or good at writing help texts. If you feel at home with creating order from chaos, then we could use your helping hand!
* Anytime you see a file with incomplete licensing or source information, tag it with <code><nowiki>{{subst:nsd}}</nowiki></code>.
* Give [[:Category:Media needing categories|Media needing categories]] a category.
* [[:Category:Categories requiring diffusion|Move files into relevant subcategories]]
* [[OCRobotX:Free media resources|Free media resources]] are waiting for an inclusion into this project.
* [[COM:FPC|Nominate or vote for]] Featured Pictures (registration required).
* Find and revert [[COM:CVU|vandalism]]

=== Tour ===

In order to be able to upload files on Wikimedia Commons, you need to be logged in. You can register at the "[[Special:Userlogin|Log in / create account]]" link in the upper right corner and enter a user name that will be used at all of your uploads/edits on images and texts. However if you just want to edit pages you don't need to be logged in (although it is encouraged). If you have taken advantage of [[m:Help:Unified login|unified login]], then you are already signed up at Commons.

Our '''[[OCRobotX:First steps|first steps help file]]''' and our '''[[OCRobotX:FAQ|FAQ]]''' will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to [[OCRobotX:Upload|upload files]] and our basic [[OCRobotX:Licensing|licensing policy]]. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here.

More information is available at the [[OCRobotX:Community portal|Community Portal]]. You may ask questions at the [[OCRobotX:Village pump|Village Pump]].

Files on OCRobotX Wiki are organized in categories and galleries. An overview of the categories we use is available on the [[Main Page]].

All your uploads are stored in your personal [[Special:MyUploads|gallery]]. Please [[w:Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your name]] on Talk pages by typing &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the [[:toollabs:commonshelper/|CommonsHelper]].

If you want to upload large numbers of images, the program [[OCRobotX:VicuñaUploader|VicuñaUploader]] or [[OCRobotX:Tools/Commonist|Commonist]] will be helpful. If you need specific information on tools for viewing or editing our content please see the [[OCRobotX:Software|software page]] and [[OCRobotX:Tools|tools page]].

We hope that you will enjoy it here and that you will have fun.
