BrandWiki's vision and mission

BrandWiki wants to improve educated consumption: It wants to help consumers understand the story and background behind a brand, so to simplify the evaluation of trustworthiness of a certain brand and influence purchase decisions in a good way – through educated opinion. Transparency of the company and sustainable production of the brand's products play a crucial role.

Short guidelines for being a hot part of the cool BrandWiki

  1. A wiki is a wiki is a wiki. So be bold, go ahead and add and change anything. Best case, you help the grand idea. Worst case, you give us something to think about.
  2. Be friendly and considerate while you do so. That makes 90% of the way.
  3. Stay critical. While the information here is double-checked and referencing to sources, truth and reality are no easy concepts. What looks like facts might not be facts. The opposite might also be true. News might have left out information. Try to find as many good and trustworthy information as possible, before you build yourself an opinion or judgement.

Ontology and naming conventions

At the moment, these topics are featured here:

A brand is neither the name of a product nor the name of an organisation, although the same name can by used by both. A brand convey's a company's values and differentiates products and services.

Example: Milky Way is the name of a brand with 2 products with this name (1 in USA, 1 in Europe), the organisation behind it is Mars.

An organisation is a broad term for a private or public company, institution or enterprise, holding other companies, brands or products, issuing certificates.

A certificate is broad term for an official/federal or private quality seal, quality label, quality mark, cachet.

Adding content to BrandWiki

You would like to participate? Big Japanese bow. Wonderful, welcome on board! There are several ways how you can take part here in the wiki:

  • Add new brands, new companies or new certificates in your country
  • Do deep research for a single brand and add your research findings
  • Add resources and source links
  • Suggest external data sources that can be integrated into the wiki. (We currently inspect the idea of including Wikidata's data).
  • Last but not least: Improve the language and correct spelling mistakes
  • Report bugs, send screenshots, help with the styling
  • Tell friends and enemies about BrandWiki, spread the word
Can I destroy the BrandWiki by editing?
Not really: All edits are patrolled and approved, your changes won't show on the pages before approval. All edits are revertible, so whenever you delete something by accident, it can be undone.

Guidelines for adding a brand

It’s pretty straightforward to add a brand: Just fill out the form. (Where it’s not yet straightforward, please tell us and we will try to fix it.)

If you need some guidance or help with details, you can also check out the Links and resources.

Brand details

These are the profile details you can add for a brand:

ID
Every brand gets assigned a numeral ID. This way, even if text gets changed, the access link always stays the same. This has been implemented to ease linking to the BrandWiki. You can also link to certain page revisions from the history tab.
Organisation
Every brand is related to one (or more) organisations. We are interested in uncovering company and enterprise structures supporting a brand.
Short brand profile
Write it. While quoting sources is a good idea, the brand profile should be something attractive to read and unique. Catchy phrases in your own words. In case you are quoting or including claims or statements, make sure to mark them as quotes and link them to their source online. If you are quoting sources, you might want to add a new brand aspect underneath instead.
Logo
Please do not upload logos (it’s prevented for now, anyway) that you don’t own. All logos that are online in the wiki now are either taken from public press kits or supplied by the company itself – hence, we are allowed to publish them here. We are NOT drag&dropping logos from company websites, this is not good practice.
Product images
In case you want to upload product and label images, please make sure you made the image yourself.
Brand aspects
You can add information as “aspects” to the brand, something you found on websites, in the news or somewhere else. The more sources you can find to one aspect, the better. It could also be personal experience, but also here sources are crucial.
Certificates
We have included a number of official brand certificates in the wiki. This way, you shall get a quicker overview over the brands and their certificates.
