The wiki is now at https://wiki.eahub.org/wiki/Effective_Altruism_Wiki.
Link is broken. Does the wiki still exist?
Hi Eric, whenever I try to go to the Wiki I get a screen message saying: 403: Forbidden, this page cannot be displayed. I checked the troubleshooting page, but it seems to contain only advice for the person who manages the wiki, not for visitors (file permissions etc.): https://www.hostgator.com/help/article/403-forbidden-or-no-permission-to-access?utm_source=externalerror&utm_medium=hgsuspage&utm_campaign=client403 Do you have any advice? I’m based in Switzerland, both chrome and firefox didn’t work (on a mac).

Hi. This is not your fault. The EA Hub team had to take down a few sites because of a CPU overuse error. Until they work out what the problem is and an alternative, some sites will have to stay offline. An archive has been retained.
I get the same thing.
What is the ”.impact slack” and how do you join it?
.impact is a volunteer taskforce, and to request an invite to our slack (kind of IRC for the modern web, very handy for communicating and organizing projects) put your email here.
Neat… so anyone can ‘join’ .impact by getting involved in EA work and communicating about it with other EA’s in the .impact slack?
Yup, and they also hold regular workathons and hangout meetings if you feel like joining in with those.
I’ve specifically taken notes on dozens of effective organizations for the purposes for adding to or creating pages for them on the EA Wiki. I’m glad I’ll finally be able to get started. Specifically, I have data which can be used to organize and categorize organizations along the following lines:
Location (e.g., headquarters, or base of operations)
Cause (e.g., factory farming, AI risk, etc.)
Focus Area (e.g., global poverty, animal advocacy, existential risk reduction, etc.)
Role (e.g., fundraising, research, policy reform, charity evaluation, etc.)
Key Figures (e.g., executives or founders)
Additionally, I’m compiling a list of all EA companies, which can be added to the wiki. What I’m hoping is there can be pages hyperlinked from the page of each individual organization which detail the full list of effective organizations working out of San Francisco, or work on policy, or fund other organizations. It would be helpful if I could put all this core data of an organization on the page in one of those little boxes they have like pages for organizations on Wikipedia. Does the new EA wiki enable that?
Anyway, once I’ve completed some full lists of orgaizations, as sorted by category, I’ll put a link up to them on the EA Forum. I think it will be exciting and informative for people to realize just how much work is being done in the EA space! There is more than I think most people anticipate, as there are more than fifty organizations, and perhaps even over one hundred, working in affiliation with the effective altruism movement.
I see there are definitely “infoboxes”, which I asked about. Also, a full list of organizations is being built, but most orgs are lacking pages. I intend to greatly improve upon this.
Are there actually infoboxes? Where? I don’t see them—all I see is manually centered links at the top of e.g. http://wiki.effectivealtruismhub.com/index.php?title=Library/Giving_What_We_Can
Self-promotion: New YouTube video on effective altruism. Please take a look and share if you think it is any good. “The Price of Saving a Life … is $3,340.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tAaO5KmRFQ&index=2&list=PL0FfKwFuQb2T5tGSKh254JleBGyydQDUR
