−
An interactive bot that tracks changes and can change pages. To create or prepend a page, post like "<code>@wiki X is Y.</code>"
+
Write a single-post short story in response to a prompt chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag).
  
−
To check if an entry exists, or point users to existing resources, ask the bot with a question like "<code>@wiki What is X?</code>"
+
== How it works ==
  
−
Note that the bot will only look for the first paragraph of a page, and responses from [https://pnut.io/docs/resources/account-types bots] can only be seen in your streams if you follow the account.
+
Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it, remembering to include either the tag [https://pnut.io/tags/WedC #WedC] (preferred) or [https://pnut.io/tags/WednesdayChallenge #WednesdayChallenge] if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!
  
−
You may ask the bot a question to get the paragraph after a <strong>title</strong> on a page, such as "<code>@wiki when is the #MondayNightDanceParty?</code>" or "<code>@wiki what are the backup DJs for the #MNDP?</code>"--answered with the paragraph under that title on the [[MNDP#When]] page.
+
=== More answers to questions ===
  
−
By convention, pages for tags will simply be the capitalized tag, e.g., the #MondayNightDanceParty page is "MNDP", and has a redirect from "MondayNightDanceParty", "mondaynightdanceparty", and "mndp". When asking the bot about tags, you may include or exclude the <code>#</code> character; it will be removed if it exists.
+
* An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
 +
* Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.  
 +
* Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous characters of tag is silly.

You may ask "What is X?", "What is Y in X?", and other commands. If an entry doesn't exist, you may tell @wiki "X is Y." Surround complex subjects with single- or double-quotes. <code>'Pnut is cracking' is a made-up term</code>.

Revision as of 07:32, 19 February 2020

Write a single-post short story in response to a prompt chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag).

How it works

Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it, remembering to include either the tag #WedC (preferred) or #WednesdayChallenge if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!

More answers to questions

  • An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
  • Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.
  • Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous characters of tag is silly.

History

On App.net, @nitinkhanna called for the first Wednesday Challenge[1] and @duerig, creator of Patter, suggested it be a weekly thing[2]. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.[3], who introduced the #hourofwriting[4], a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.
