Get to know Mini treasures wiki

Mini treasures wiki in a nutshell

In autumn 2006 I established a wiki for Finnish speaking miniaturists (Nukkekotiwiki) which is now known and regularly used by almost all Finnish miniaturists. In April 2009 I realized that there was still no dollhouse wiki in English so this wiki was born. The wiki is targeted to miniaturists all over the world - this is the place for sharing tips and links, finding new ideas, and making new friends. Read more and see how the 1st birthday party was celebrated.

What is this wiki about?To be frank I see only pages with a very little content and my favorite themes are missing from the project page

Give us time honey, we have just started the huge work. We will add new content when ever we find something we want to bookmark for ourselves. If you start sharing your bookmarks with us too by adding them to the wiki we will be thrilled! The more people we have contributing the faster  will have links under every title on every page (we will get our 1000th wiki pages during the summer). But actually the nature of a wiki is that it is never ready but work in progress, so if you find errors or broken links please correct them.

One easy way to help us is start adding tags to pages. E.g. for oysters: food, seafood,animals,sea, french or for bananas: food, fruits, yellow, african, monkey or for santa claus: finnish, north pole, christmas, fairytale, fantasy, presents, coca cola... The tags help you to navigate to cool pages.

And if you want to see new pages you can create them or ask us to do them via wanted_pages.
