Special Content Project

Revision as of 23:54, 12 April 2017 by >Unity (Grammatics)

In terms of PsychonautWiki content development, a Special Content Project (or SCP) refers to any kind of strategy or initiative meant to identify and improve parts of the site that are agreed uto be lacking or needing urgent attention over an extended or compressed timescale. SCPs are designed to draw attention to sections of the Wiki that are being actively developed to signal their potential unreliability. They are also meant to increase the chances of community involvement and encourage readers to becoming active participants and contributors.

Special Content Project (SCP)

Active SCPs

  • Project C-PSY ("Classicial Psychedelics") - If you would like to learn more about this SCP, please click here.

Purpose

An SCP can be thought of as strategic project of creating, revising organizing, or expanding on the informative and educational content available on the Wiki (i.e. making sure it is in accordance with its guidelines and values of the community) to optimize the speed in which the content is developed and refined.

Organization

SCPs are typically proposed and organized by administrators or scholars, who oversee the project in terms of identifying the tactics and resources that are needed and having a clear and focused sense on what to improve, ideally drawing and coordinating the effort with those who decide to volunteer after seeing the active project development panels. Nevertheless, proposals from regular contributors are still always welcome.

SCPs must have an easily identifiable project lead who takes on primary responsibility for the project and acts as its interface to greater site content development initiatives (such as increasing the scientific rigor and grounding of our content in proper citations).

Panels

All SCPs will come with their own custom panel that denotes the page is under active development and therefore does not currently reflect the standards of the Wiki.

Protocols

Before an SCP can be officially initiated, one must first meet these requirements:

  1. Create an issue on our JIRA To-Do Board under the "Special Content Project" board.
  2. Create a PsychonautWiki page (see the page for Project C-PSY for an example.
  3. Design a panel from the template (e.g. search for Template: Project C-SPY Announce, copy it, then search for Template: Project X, create a new page, copy the contents and modify).
  4. Submit your proposal to an administrator or scholar for approval.

Common Types of Requesting Help

  • Ask for volunteers to help de-wikipediarip content, both content wise as well as in the citations
  • Make yourself available in case anyone with expertise stumbles across it that ends up with an improved page :)
  • Ask for sources, relevant claims, things, stuff of that nature.
  • Plenty of others I can't think of right now.

  • Google Scholar Browser Extension (can get APA formatted citations easily with this]

Optional

Subjective effects

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier doses will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects. Note that these effects are highly variable and not as reliably induced as they are with psychoactive substances.

Physical effects

Cognitive effects

Spiritual effects
