This is the Telecommunications Inventory Wiki. It is primarily for the Connections Museum inventory. Some information will only be editable by museum volunteers (like items in museum inventories) while other information (like general pages about item models) will be editable more widely.
The current namespaces are as follows:
- Main (no prefix): Information about worldwide telecommunications technology, history, series, models, etc. This information is meant to apply to any given instance of the subject matter.
- CMS: Inventory for the Connections Museum in Seattle. This information is meant to be specific to the inventoried item at the Connections Museum. General information should not be included in this namespace.
Pages support data (under the "Edit data" tab) added in pre-set schemas to populate introductory paragraphs (because the introductory paragraph for certain things like different models of phone will all be very similar).
