• Typographical Guidelines standardizes markup for use in translation, either to official manuals (DocBook) or to other languages.

Deciding where to create your page

Many people choose to draft a page on their own Talk page, then move the result to the desired site. Sometimes there is a good reason for preferring to do it in the final location. If that is the case, consider using before your content {{Construction}} which will display

Under Construction

This is a new page, currently under construction!

Wiki Structure

For the convenience of users we try to avoid creating a structure more than three levels deep, avoiding having to type long paths for page names. For most purposes, the following guide will suffice:

Application
Application/Troubleshooting
Application/xxx-How-To
Application/Manual
Application/Manual/Introduction
Application/Manual/Section_1
Application/Manual/Section_xxx

Remember

Please do not use any kind of punctuation in your page names — punctuation like question marks or periods creates serious problems for the wiki software, in particular for the translation system.

Workflow

• Navigate to a page, which will contain a link to your new page

• Edit this page and insert a link to a new, not yet existing page like this: [[My New Page]]

• Write a one-line summary of what you changed

• Hit the Preview button and check your work

• Save your edits.

Now the page shows a red colored link to your upcoming page. A click on this link will send you directly to your new page and will open the edit box.

Note

A double-Enter is required to make a new paragraph. Please use this after any heading, as it puts headings in a separate translation unit which is preferred by translators using external tools.

Note

If you are making frequent edits to your page, please use either {{Construction}} or {{Being_Edited}} so that translators and other contributors know to wait until you are finished.

Warning

Avoid using text smilies as they cause problems for translation applications (due to unbalanced parentheses). Instead use {{Smiley}} Other smilies can be found on [Commons Wikimedia] and the file-name is sufficient to get the image included
