Memememmememe please. @designerpart.

Also, I think this is a great idea. Honestly, when I was picking schools... I found that information like this was hard to find, and it wasn't all in one area. And the little books they handed out in high school didn't really explain much.

Alright, anyone who wants to help can sign up and register an account.. then you have full access to edit and create pages. Right now we need to fill it with lots of content about the school, buildings, services, clubs, msu, maroons, SOCS, etc. So if you have knowledge in these areas feel free to contribute!

Note: It requires some knowledge of wiki's, you can read documentation at www.mediawki.com

I went ahead and cleaned up the article a bit (removed most of the dead links, aka the stuff that was in red)

The hyperlinks also need to be fixed.

Don't take the red links off stuff that relates to Mac. It's a good way for us to know what pages need to be created. Aka go look at the MSU page. A bunch of services are red-linked and it tells me that I need to create those pages.

I'm also going to add in some modules to make it more like the functionality of wikipedia (especially as far as references go)

crtl + c existing content on MI (pending author approval) to get more content up fast?

I consent to having my old articles used, so long as I have the ability to edit them later (i.e. when school isn't kicking my ass).

Yeah, please do add things in.

I'll do more aesthetic editing and stuff. I'm working on functionality right now. If you guys look, I've added in infoboxes, and other sorts of aesthetic formatting.
