Front Page

Here, you will find everything you need/want to know about the Sun City. Yes, it is a little barren right now, but that will change with time. As mentioned previously in the blog, this sites purpose is to be a collaborative work between all El Pasoan's. From neighborhoods, restaurants, parks, museums, staycations, landmarks, hairdressers, etc, this wiki is meant for it. Facts are great, opionions are fair, but slanderous remarks, no matter if true, are not meant for this wiki.

The Living El Paso Wiki is meant to support and promote El Paso and nobody knows this town better than the people who call it home!

The quick start guide has been left up for those who are new to editing and finding their way around a wiki. The guys over at Torontopedia have a good rule of thumb about registerting your UserName. Since their policy appears to be fair, the same will be implemented here.

Please read the Importance of using your RealName page to find out why we ask everyone to register using their real first and last name. UserNames should be your First and Last names with the first initial of each name capitalized without any space in between. Please don't just use your first name!

Example: if your real name is "Pay Dirt Pete", we ask that you choose PayDirtPete as your UserName when you first register your Living El Paso account, and not just PDP. Thanks!

To create a new page, simply search for the name of the page you wish to create and then click the "Create a new page with this title" link. Another way to create a new page is by making a link to the page you wish to create from a page that already exists, following the link, and clicking "Create this page."
