| You are welcome to contribute to the KDE UserBase wiki. To maintain high quality content and articles there are a few guidelines you should follow. This is a brief introduction to editing and contributing.
| | #REDIRECT [[Toolbox]] |
| | |
| == What Content belongs in KDE UserBase ==
| |
| | |
| The KDE UserBase wiki is meant to contain information relevant for KDE users. More details can be found in the article [[Help:Wiki Structure]].
| |
| | |
| [http://docs.kde.org End-user documentation] or [http://api.kde.org API documentation] should ''not'' be added here. For technical issues, use [http://techbase.kde.org KDE TechBase].
| |
| | |
| === Where to put new Articles ===
| |
| | |
| The KDE UserBase wiki uses subpages. Take a quick look at the article about the [[Help:Wiki Structure]]. In short: Do not randomly add toplevel pages.
| |
| <!--
| |
| It is possible to translate KDE UserBase articles into other languages. Read the article about [[Help:Wiki Translation]] for further details. -->
| |
| | |
| === The Procedure ===
| |
| | |
| You want to add new content. To keep high quality, please create the article in your userpage first (e.g. User:foo/My Acticle). Once it is ready, discuss the article with other developers and proofread it. Finally, if a location is found, move the page.
| |
| | |
| After moving the page please '''add yourself to the watch list''' by clicking the ''Watch'' register. You will get a notice by mail whenever the page changes.
| |
| | |
| == Editing Basics ==
| |
| | |
| In the KDE UserBase wiki all readers are allowed to edit content and structure.
| |
|
| |
| === Review Policy and Conventions ===
| |
| | |
| Make sure that you submit information which is relevant to the specific purpose of the wiki, or your content might be deleted. You can always use the [[Help:Talk page|''Discussion'' or ''talk'' pages]] to ask questions or to check if your idea will be accepted. Please make sure your contributions are not violating any licenses.
| |
| | |
| === Start Editing ===
| |
| | |
| To start editing a [[Main Page|KDE UserBase]] page, click the '''Edit''' link at the tab on the top. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the ''wikitext'' - the editable code from which the server produces the finished page. ''If you just want to experiment, please do so in the [[Sandbox|sandbox]], not here''.
| |
| | |
| === Type your Changes ===
| |
| | |
| You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup to make links and do simple formatting increases the value of your contribution. Please follow the style used in other wiki articles. If you follow this, your contributions will be more valuable as they won't need to be cleaned up later.
| |
| | |
| === Summarize your Changes ===
| |
| | |
| Write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box.
| |
| | |
| Example: "Fixed a typo"
| |
| | |
| === Preview before Saving ===
| |
| | |
| When you have finished, click '''Show preview''' to see how your changes will look '''before''' you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click '''Save page''' and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.
| |
| | |
| == Wiki Markup Reference ==
| |
| | |
| The wikipedia provides a quick introduction about the most important mediawiki syntax. Please read the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page Page editing help].
