The AoPSWiki Words of the Week are the "featured" words on AoPSWiki for the week. Typically, every week one mathematical term and one "other" topic (a contest, a summer camp, a problem-solving strategy, etc.) will be selected.
All AoPSWiki users are particularly encouraged to edit the pages for the Words of the Week as a collaborative effort.

Editing tips
For mathematical topics
- Don't just define! Give examples. If the topic is related to problem solving, it is also good to provide examples of actual problems that utilize that technique.
- Have lots of links to other related topics. Have links to other wiki pages that talk about terms that you use. Edit those other pages too!
- Images are often very useful, especially in fields like geometry. See A:IMG for image related syntax. Or alternatively you can use Asymptote to draw geometry diagrams.
For other topics
- For contests: describe
- how the contest works
- who runs it
- a bit about its history
- what types of students can/should participate
- any prizes
- other related contests
- a link to the contest's website
- For summer camps:
- Nuts and bolts: where, how long, how much
- Compare to other summer camps
- Try to be objective. The forum is a place to give your opinions. The wiki is a place to give facts.
