Add information

From Wing Chun Reference

Users can add information with pre-defined forms, where they fill out a set of fields describing a certain category, as well as an optional text field. Thanks to field autocompletion the process is largely automated and sharing information is as easy as making a sensible and verifiable sentence about Wing Chun, and often reduced to a few keystrokes and clicks. Therefore any person who knows something about Wing Chun, no matter how little, can easily contribute their knowledge to this project.

Before you start adding information you should:

• Create an account and log in.
• Understand the model of knowledge used in Wing Chun Reference.
• Make sure that the information you're about to add has not been entered into Wing Chun Reference already. Search the site for various transcriptions and spellings of the entity you are trying to add - there's a good chance the page is already there, but under a different name or spelling.

Once you're done with the above steps you can proceed to add new information.
