The new main page is located at www.koreanwikiproject.com. Go there for the latest news. I'll be modifying this homepage shortly after I decide what to do with it exactly. If you have any ideas leave a comment on the blog. There are many ways to contribute to this project:
Welcome
The Korean Wiki Project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible and relevant to anyone. First, this site is under major construction. A lot of the articles are incomplete and have been created for future editing. One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in depth information and accurate translations for Korean grammar patterns and vocabulary words where other dictionaries and books fail. Another goal is to make all information on here simple and easy to understand. As more people contribute to this project, the information becomes more accurate and better explained. For more information on this project, see the about section.
If you have any suggestions, ideas or requests for this wiki, please post them on here (you don't need an account): Suggestions and Requests
Getting Started
First thing, do you see random boxes and gibberish or Korean characters: "안녕하세요?" If you see gibberish, you need to install Korean characters. (link)
If you are using an old browser such as internet explorer 6, please upgrade! Not only are you using a browser thats 9 years old, but one that's unsafe. The internet has changed a lot in 9 years, look into download the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera or the latest version of Internet Explorer. Without a new browser, this site cannot be displayed properly! See the difference here. (Perhaps needs a browser sniffer here if possible)
In order to contribute to this wiki, you need to be able to type in Korean in most cases. For instructions on how to install Korean language input, click here
If you are not able to read the Korean script, then the first thing you should do is learn how to read it. Check the out Learn hangeul section.
A lot of the articles here are not incomplete, if you'd like to request an article to finished, we can give it priority, just leave a comment here: Suggestions and Requests
Stubs are articles that are incomplete and need some work. If there's anything you can do to add more to or even finish the article, then by all means please do so.
If you have a digital camera and live in Korea, please snap pictures of signs, electronic equipment with Korean buttons, or anything that might have some use for learning Korean. For example pictures, see Help:Images and photos or Category:Images.
We need more work done on this page. Please add content to this page.
Sogang and Yonsei categories needed!
We already have categories up for grammar patterns that appear in the Seoul National University program in the grammar pattern section. However we need current and former Sogang and Yonsei students to categorize grammar patterns for their respective text books. For example, if you see a grammar pattern that appeared in the level 1 book of the Sogang program, add [[Category:Sogang Level 1 Grammar]] or if there is a grammar pattern in Yonsei's level 3 grammar add [[Category:Yonsei Level 3 Grammar]] to the bottom of the particular grammar page (and so on). As an example here are the categories for SNU:
The grammar pages could always use more detailed or clear explanations. In fact many of the grammar patterns still need to be defined or need examples. If you are a native speaker, please add sentence examples.
We need sentence examples for grammar pages, slang pages, proverb pages (etc). If you are a native speaker, please visit the incomplete examples category to see which pages still need more sentence examples.
Help complete our list of examples for individual Chinese roots or Hanja pages. Add examples, check for correct meanings or add new characters that haven't been added yet.
