Welcome to the Oils-Fats-Lipids Wiki (OFLWiki) of Euro Fed Lipid.

This Wiki serves as a collection of data and information about all kinds of Fats, Oils and Lipids. It is made by and for the academic and industrial community of Lipid Science and Technology.

Wikis (best known example: Wikipedia) are written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. Anyone with internet access can make changes to Wiki articles.

Visitors do not need specialized qualifications to contribute. The intent is to have articles that cover existing knowledge, not create new knowledge (original research). This means that people of all ages and cultural and social backgrounds can write Wiki articles. Most of the articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet, simply by clicking the edit this page link. Anyone is welcome to add information, cross-references, or citations, as long as they do so within the editing policies and to an appropriate standard. Substandard or disputed information is subject to removal. Users need not worry about accidentally damaging the Wiki when adding or improving information, as other editors are always around to advise or correct obvious errors, and the software is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes.

Because each Wiki is an ongoing work to which, in principle, anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in important ways. In particular, older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while newer articles more frequently contain significant misinformation and unencyclopedic content. Users need to be aware of this to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation that has been recently added and not yet removed. However, unlike a paper reference source, a Wiki is continually updated, with the creation or updating of articles on topical events within seconds, minutes, or hours, rather than months or years for printed encyclopedias.
