Broken/NS106:Organization

Welcome to the 'Organization' form. Adding your organization is as simple as entering its name in the box below. However, please take a look at these guidelines before you do:

Does my organization already exist?

Since we have over 1300 organizations stored in our database, it just might. To avoid duplicate pages, search for your organization or web site title to see if it is already in our archive at . The organizations are listed in alphabetical order for easy browsing. You can also search for it in the search box at the very bottom of the page. Keep in mind, however, that this box searches the entire wiki and not just the organization database.

Nope, it doesn't exist. How do I add it?

Great. Now you can take the first step by typing its name below in the following format:

"Organization name" - "Web site name"

For example, if your educational web page is titled "Biology" and your organization is the "Public Library of Science," you would put:

Public Library of Science (PLoS) - Biology

Question 1: Should I enter it in exactly this format, with the space after the name, then dash, then space, then name again?

Yes.

Question 2: What about the abbreviation? Do I have to put one?

Only if it is a popular abbreviation. If it is (like PLoS), put the abbreviation in parentheses after the organization's full name. This will ensure greater searchability of the organization. For instance, NASA shows up: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

Once you are satisfied with the formatting of your organization title(s), go ahead and enter it below. This will show up as the page name in big, bold letters at the top, so it is important that it is accurate and identifiable. If a page with that name already exists, you will be sent to a form to edit that page.
