Consider inviting more comrades
Contributing to this encyclopedia has been a learning experience, especially in my theoretical education of political economy. We need to invite comrades to help build this project so this can become a great service to the working class of all nations, by helping us in the process of education.
We also need to develop our project's democratic system, to ensure the project has all the means to continue in case I go missing, or something. --FelipeForte (talk) 22:56, 4 November 2020 (-03)
- I propose we create a "ProleWiki:Governance" page to discuss stuff like this, for now it would be a list of trusted admins, but eventually it can grow to encompass discussions about lines of succession and transition of power should any of us become inactive for any reason. --Jucheguevara (talk) 19:47, 8 November 2020 (-03)

Green book primary source
Your work is very much appreciated, but books and primary sources should be marxist works only. I'm sorry, I was not careful in having a discussion about the scope and use of the library, but I updated this information in our library policy. --FelipeForte (talk) 00:05, 11 November 2020 (-03)
- Does this mean we cannot add The Juche Idea by Kim Il-sung due to the fact that Juche is no longer considered by the Korean Worker's Party as a variant of Marxism-Leninism, but rather a distinctly Korean ideology? --Jucheguevara (talk) 13:53, 12 November 2020 (-03)
- The Juche Idea is a marxist work, and Kim Il-sung was a marxist-leninist, so of course you can contribute that work to our library. --FelipeForte (talk) 02:39, 14 November 2020 (-03)
Questions about Templates
Thank you for your message, comrade! Actually, I have some familiarity with MediaWiki and how to use it, my problem is that I'm awful at writing and just can't find a way to phrase it in a way that isn't confusing.
By the way, I see the ProleWiki:How_to_contribute/en mentions making the templates that are needed. I've been wondering — do we need infobox-style templates? Wikipedia uses a lot of them (see a list here), and in my opinion, they're useful for displaying some basic data about something or someone. Taking some of these from Wikipedia won't be too hard probably.
P. S. I like your username. :) I luv pingu (talk)--
- I'm glad to hear you're familiar with MediaWiki, and I'm happy to follow up on the pages you create and help with the writing! I generally keep an eye on the "Recent changes" page so I can help improve any active pages.
- I very much like the idea of creating an infobox template! definitely feel free to do so and promote its usage throughout, and I'll try to join in your efforts to add them!
- and I'm glad you like the username! :) --Jucheguevara (talk)
- I was able to finally import some Infobox templates yesterday, take a look: https://prolewiki.org/wiki/Brazilian_Communist_Party
- The template Template:Infobox political party, used here as an example, uses another template at its core, Template:Infobox. To create more infoboxes, you need to use the Infobox template just like the political party example, and adapt the headers to the new infobox you're creating. Also importing from Wikipedia sometimes doesn't work and requires tweaking because Wikipedia is a mess. --FelipeForte (talk) 15:41, 20 November 2020 (-03)

Survival of our project
Greetings, comrade. I'm sending you this message before the due date to pay our bills in HostGator, which is around November/December. Considering your efforts were crucial in the development of our project, I'm discussing this directly with you. I don't know if it's best to continue our project through HostGator, but in any case, a comrade of ours has collected data on a spreadsheet about available hosting services and their pricing, and it's a document we can use to being a research.
I'm no longer employed and won't have much to contribute financially to our project, but I still can contribute to a part of it. I don't think it's sustainable in the long run for you to pay for our project like you did last time, so I suggest that after we decide on our hosting, that we being a campaign for donations through every media available to us, I'm quite sure we will be able to collect enough money to sustain the project.
The second thing is the massive decline that we've suffered in the last months. I'm pretty sure that I'm to blame as my leadership in the project was quite lacking, and I ignored my tasks on ProleWiki for too long. Our methods of organization of our work were lacking, because to sustain this project we would not only need work inside ProleWiki, but outside as well, such as sharing the work we've done, using social media to promote our articles, etc. We would invariably need a division of labor here.
In any case, the organization of our work is a secondary, although extremely important, issue. At the moment we should focus on the hosting issue and decide together what is to be done. Once you read this, hmu on Telegram so I can send you the spreadsheet with the compilation of hosting services.
