New Wiki Articles

Over the next few days a lot of new wiki articles will be added by us on Fungi, Plants and Birds. These are some of the areas where the Wiki is lacking articles in comparison with the amount of species to the amount of pages that are on the wiki. We will be working with a number of new people in the coming months to supply the wiki with new information and a number of different photos that provide clear details for easy identification.

Youtube Special!

Next month we are going to be creating a special video to commemorate the fact that we will have 200 subscribers and 100,000 video views on YouTube. We are going to catch 150 fish at the local and 50 herps at the local glen.

Last year we caught 100 animals in a day and this time we aim to catch 200 animals in 2-3 consecutive days, depending on the weather.

If you have any other idea that would make the videos special please let us know by emailing, contactus@thewwc.org.

Website & Wiki News

Wiki News

We have teamed up with more photographers to help bring more high quality photos to the wiki and make every animal and plant as clear as day! These include Zac Allain and 6 others who are out and about whenever and where ever they can poised with their cameras ready to get us a perfect shot!

Also on the wiki new Season, month and other banners will be put on appropriate pages to indicate whether the species is endangered, when it can be seen and what month you are most likely to see it.

Website News

With the new layout going as planned and new pages being added everyday it seems that the website should be back up withing the first or second week of July. We have had a few technical problems with the domain servers due to the weather but this has been overcome now and we will let you know when the site is back up!

Mid June Post

The New WWC Website layout is now being implemented and the website will be back up shortly! A server failure has meant that there has been a delay in the implementation but we are hoping, (fingers crossed) thatthe website should be up and running again by the first fo July!

The wiki is going well! We have just hit the 630 article bench mark and we have applied for lots of new features and people to add content so watch this space! If you would like to help edit The British Wildlife Wiki, please click here.

With the return of the website, means the return of the Wildlife Webcams! They have been offline whilst the site has been down for repairs but will be coming back soon with the weekly WWC Show and daily Live webcam feeds!

WildWords

We have launched a new project on The British Wildlife Wiki. It is called WildWords and it aims to explain what the technical terms that are used on the wiki if somebody doesnt understand or know what they mean. This is going to be the first step in making the Wiki more user friendly!

If you have seen a term on the wiki and you are not sure what it means, please tell us by emailing wiki@thewwc.org and we will add it to the WildWords definitions list!
