Welcome to the to the MoparWiki

Purpose

The MoparWiki is a wiki that gives MoparStyle members the ability to add to an informationbase on all things Mopar. Information on Makes and Models; history of the Chrysler Corporation and the people associated with it; Technical Papers and Dream Cars; Mopars in Drag Racing, Mopars in Road Racing, and Mopars in NASCAR; and just about anything else having to do with Mopars.

Any MoparStyle Member can start a topic -- and any member can add to and edit the topic to improve it, using the MoparWiki Guidelines. There is a lot of information needing to be added and edited, so if you click a link that is a page needing to be started or needing more information -- please take a few minutes to help -- if you have the information needed.

The MoparWiki is bridged with the forums at MoparStyle, using the same membership database. So logging in either here at the MoparWiki or at the Forums will have you logged in at the other place.

The best place for members to start to play around with the concept of using the simple markup language used to format wiki pages -- is the member's own User page. You will note that at the left side of the Navbar at the top of the page will be your Member handle -- assuming that you are logged in. Click that link and you will be taken to your User Page. An example of an User's page is Old Hippie's User page. If you click the help link in the Navigation Box in the left sidebar, and keep open wiki pages for formatting and links in other tabs to reference as a Cheat Sheet -- you will be able to duplicate something like Old Hippie's in about 30 minutes. Once you've done you User page and familiarize yourself with the proper Help pages to use as a cheat sheet -- you are able to help this wiki by improving the pages with what you know. It is all really very simple.

Once you've got a handle on your user page -- the next thing to do is to start clicking some of the links in the article. If the link is lacking information that you have knowledge of --- then please improve the Wiki page with your contribution. If your additions are Mopar terms or about Mopar People -- then link it so that the Mopar context builds.

Categories

To make it easier to find the information that you seek, we have arranged all topics to fall into at least one category. The below is a list of categories, and a topic can fall into more than one.



Please read the Cheat sheet on Categories found in the Help Section. The Help section is pretty robust and has just about answer you will need on hos to properly use this site.
