A wiki is a collaborative website. Users can edit and contribute content easily.

Creating a Babywearing Encyclopedia ... together

All About Babywearing is a wiki about ... you guessed it ... babywearing. "Babywearing" is the practice of using a soft carrier to hold a baby close to you. This wiki is a place for babywearers to share useful and interesting information about babywearing with one another and with the world. You can edit and add pages ... that's what a wiki is all about! For example, if you have some good instructions for how to do a certain carry with a wrap, you can add a page for that carry. The goal is to create a babywearing encyclopedia to serve as a reference for people looking for information about babywearing.

Discussion Forum

You can start or reply to discussion threads on any page. For example, if you have a question about how someone tied the sling on a how-to page, you can start a thread and ask, and others can reply with any information they have. This process can help improve pages. To see all the discussion threads, just click on the "Discussion Forum" button on the left side of the screen.

Some Guidelines

This wiki is not a place to promote specific brands of slings. For example, it is inappropriate to add or edit a page to state or imply that Brand X mei tai is the best mei tai. Adding or editing a page so that it works as an advertisement for a sling is not allowed. Discussion of brands in discussion threads is allowed. If that's your interest, you should check out the very active and comprehensive discussion forum at TheBabyWearer.

This wiki is also not a place to promote or denigrate any parenting styles or parenting practices except, of course, that this wiki promotes babywearing. Please stay on the topic of babywearing.

Please note that the Wetpaint terms of use (which you agree to when you sign up as a user), as well as copyright law, prohibit your posting any content that you do not have the right to post. So, don't copy content from other places, and don't post photos or videos, unless, of course, you hold the copyright or have permission from the copyright holder.

In general, deleting, editing, or adding content in a way that is contrary to the goal of creating a babywearing encyclopedia is not allowed, and the wiki admins will deal with such vandalism in any way they find appropriate and within the bounds of the law.
