KDE Userbase is a community-driven wiki, which means that everyone is welcome to help out to improve it. There are mainly three ways you can contribute to Userbase.

Information

To maintain high quality content, please read the Guidelines before you start

	Edit Articles The easiest way to contribute. Is there anything you miss or want to change? Learn more about how to edit articles here.

	Add New Articles Here you can read about how to add new articles and important things to keep in mind.

	Translate Articles Have you found an article you want to translate? Then this page is for you.

If you need help with anything, you can use the Talk page to get in contact with other UserBase contributors.

Edit Articles

Get An Account

Write about how and why you should get an account on UserBase.

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 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 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, 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 and Save

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.

Hans' notes:

Text is just temporary, I'm sure it can be much improved
Most links are wrong
Add New Articles icon is weird, the paper should look like the one for Edit Articles
Should the Guidelines link be on this page or in the individual tutorials? Should it be in an information box?
