==CategoriesEditing==Gobblerpedia differs from Wikipedia in that sources do not necessarily need to be cited. Since we aim to gather original history from students, faculty, alumni, and townies, we realize that printed or online sources may not necessarily be available. Please add (or import from an appropriately licensed source) ''any'' information you think might be worth sharing. Be bold; during the initial growth phase, write first and ask questions later. Leaving off "at Virginia Tech" is an easy way to keep article names short(er). Should this ever be a problem (for example in documenting[[Radford University]]), we may re-evaluate this precedent. See this the the list of top-level categories above for a list an overview of what's currently available.* If you don't really know where to start, there are several requested pages on our [[:Category:Apartment complexeswanted pages|Apartment complexeswanted pages list]]* [[:Category:Buildings|Buildings]]* [[:Category:Blacksburg ISPs|Blacksburg ISPs]]* [[:Category:Campus computing resources|Campus computing resources]]* [[:Category:Colleges|Colleges]]* [[:Category:Courses|Courses]]* [[:Category:Departments|Departments]]* [[:Category:History|History]]* [[:Category:Honors .

==Status==Gobblerpedia has been online since Friday, February 11th, 2011. Please add (or import from an appropriately licensed source) any information you think might be worth sharing. Work is ongoing on templates that will ease the documentation of common classes of articles, such as courses, textbooks, and departments, but the templates can easily be added to existing material so don't wait on them to add material. If you have experience in creating MediaWiki templates, we invite you to assist in this process. Several [[template:infobox|infobox]] templates have been imported from Wikipedia for general use, until more specialized ones can be created.
