Summarising social contributions
Overview
editSocial contributions are assessed by reviewing the summaries provided on Wikiversity user pages in a section titled "Social contributions". The better the link and summary of each contribution, the more likely it is that the marker can understand and reward your contributions.
No marks will be awarded if:
- there is no summary of the contribution on the user page and/or
- the summary does not link to direct evidence of the contribution
Examples

How to add direct links to contributions
editAlthough there is no standard format, here is a suggested way of summarising each contribution:
- Use a numbered list
- Provide date/time
- Briefly summarise the contribution
- Provide a direct link that shows the actual changes (or the exact discussion post or #emot24 tweet)
e.g., 13:40, 18 October 2013: Added a new section and wrote a paragraph about the Theory of Planned Behavior and Theory of Reasoned Action to the health behaviour chapter. This way, the marker can quickly understand when and what kind of contribution was made and, with a single click, see exactly what changes were made. How to do this:- Go to the page you edited and click "View history" (towards top-right)
- Select the left radio button (for the version of the page before you edited) and the right radio button (for the version of the page after you edited)
- Click "Compare selected revisions"
- Copy the website address from the browser's address bar
- Go to your user page. Click "Edit". Insert an external link in the "Social contributions" sections, pasting the website address. This link will provide direct access to the comparison between the page before and after your contribution. This also works for contributions to discuss pages.
