West Cambridge Active Travel (WCAT)

West Cambridge Active Travel (WCAT) is a grassroots organisation for the promotion of active travel on and around the West Cambridge Site. Active travel includes walking and cycling, for people of all abilities, and integration with public transport. We work towards the improvement of transport infrastructure (e.g. removal of chicanes, promotion of safe and easily used routes) by engaging with the University (e.g. by writing emails, holding meetings, signing petitions or graces).

We are a new organisation and so are very open to suggestion about what we should do and how we should work.

Getting Started with editing this wiki

This website is a wiki, a user-editable website. You can treat it as a perfectly ordinary Web site, but if you have edit access for this wiki, you are able to make changes to any page that has an edit link at the top of it. The complete history of each page is stored, so if you make a mistake it can always be undone. If you want to experiment with editing, there's a special Sandbox page for this purpose.

  • If you want to create a new page, create a link to it by editing another page (enclosing the new page's name in [[double square brackets]]), and then follow that link.
  • To rename a page, use the move link at the top.
  • For a quick guide to editing pages, see Help:Editing.
  • Cambridge documentation Managed Wiki Service
  • The full MediaWiki User's Guide
  • There is also the MediaWiki FAQ
