    Available Tools

    • Page Layout helps to standardize the look of pages
    • Tool Box shows you wiki markup for the effect you need
    • 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

    Workflow

    1. Navigate to a page, which will contain a link to your new page
    2. Edit this page and insert a link to a new, not yet existing page like this: [[My New Page]]
    3. Write a one-line summary of what you changed
    4. Hit the Preview button and check your work
    5. 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.
