    This page lays out the sections that we would like to see in an ideal page. You should aim to get as many of the sections into your page as is practicable.

    Available Tools

    • Tool Box shows you wiki markup for the effect you need
    • Typographical Guidelines standardises markup for use in translation, either to official manuals (DocBook) or to other languages.

    Sections

    Section Description Relevance
    Language selector The i18n language bar previously used does not work with TranslateWiki. Please do not use it. A new language bar will be created by the first translation being prepared. deprecated
    Image header A two-cell table containing a header, laid out with
    {|class="tablecenter vertical-centered" 
    |[[Image:Image.png|300px]] 
    |Short description
    |}
    important
    Features A brief feature list, under a heading, and consisting of bullet points. These are indented by default - no need to specify indentation. important
    Details One or more heading giving more in-depth information about using the application optional
    Screenshots Screenshots to illustrate the above, whenever feasible. These will usually be thumbnails, clickable for enlargement. The size will usually be in the range of 300px to 500px. important
    Hints and Tips Short tips to increase productivity optional
    Troubleshooting List them here or in a subpage optional
    Weblinks Links to
    • an external project site
    • the application manual on docs.kde.org
    • other useful internal or external pages
    important
    if existing
    Category The category will normally be the name of the applications list that points to your page, e.g. applications listed under Applications/Office would show the statement [[Category:Office]]. important

    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. Instead use [[Image:Face-smile.png]] Other smilies can be found on [Commons Wikimedia] and the file-name is sufficient to get the image included
