Found 'em, thanks to HeroicLife:

there is a tiny wiki on http://mises.org/Community/wikis/economics/default.aspx, where the first arguments are starting to be made. Let's make some more!

Yeah, how is that wiki coming along? (And which one is the right link, by the way - where are those arguments being collected?)

BUMP.

Ok, this is a bump, but also related:

Friend pointed this out to me:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_cycle

It is pretty much hilarious in it's insanity.

"The most commonly used framework for explaining such fluctuations is Keynesian economics."

And "Austrian" is not mentioned in the entire article.

So....... how's that wiki coming folks? We really should get on it.

I was messing around in the Translations wiki where you can see what I mean.

It only lets you create a page on the first level and not in a traditional tree structure. The option 'Parent page' in the page edit is bustified in that it doesn't show any pages to be the 'parent'.

I tried both 'create a new page' and creating a page from a undefined link and it has the problem in both cases.

Seems to be a bug in the wiki where you can't make sub-pages but everything gets created on the top level and the 'Parent Page' little box only shows [none]

The moderators can edit the Wiki description so that that is has a table of contents or a link to the start page if it helps.

Yes, please don't copy/paste any content from Mises.org, as we already have to pay for the bandwith and backup costs of the content once - no point doing it twice.

Hi AC,

Remember the wiki is not a place to reproduce works that are written elsewhere on the site, such as PDF's of Books and similar. Instead a summary/conclusion/idea should be extracted from the works, and then the source be referenced.

Thanks,

Uriah

I took some initiative and created three Wikis. What do you think?

This seems like what you want.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Libertarianism

This is a new project that started a couple weeks ago. You will reach a wider audience on Wikipedia.

How about name:User Contributed Content, address:/community/wiki/user_wiki and the html description saying something to that effect so it doesn't get confused with official LvMI content.

Just to get the flame wars and sectarian infighting fighting started up mind you...

Hmm, looks like it. Why don't you tell me what Wiki you want created. I need a name, address (/Community/wiki/[address]) and a brief HTML description.

You should make it clear that this is an individual initiative and does not represent a Mises-Instituted sanctioned project.

Should we put material from Wikis in public domain or some such? It might help prevent problems down the road.

Has anyone seen this site:

That's great. I'm looking forward to see some really good information in it. So when I am trying to argue/teach someone about anarcho-capitalism, I can point them to a few specific pages with some good information.

I just had a look at it though, and I couldn't figure out how to make a page.
