The Digital Classicist Wiki (https://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/) is a collaboratively edited catalogue of projects, tools, methods and other topics in the application of digital humanities to ancient world studies. If you would like to contribute to the maintenance and editing of this platform, please join us for this introductory workshop and tutorial.

This training session will introduce the Wiki, its goals and scope, and the simple wiki-syntax with which it is edited (the same MediaWiki platform as Wikipedia). It will involve a short tutorial and demonstration of the interface, followed by the opportunity to practice editing on the live Wiki, with one-to-one support from experienced editors. The leaders of this session, Paolo and Andrea, will be focussing on Italian digital classics projects, and inviting especially Italian students and scholars to contribute and learn to use the Wiki, but all volunteers are welcome to join and work on whatever theme they prefer.

If you do not already have an account on the Digital Classicist Wiki, please contact one of the site administrators *before the day of the session* to request a new account be created for you.
