This page describes how to contribute to this wiki, and things that need to be done as well. Wikipedia's guide has a good overview of contributing, but this page is specific to this Wiki.
A large problem we've had is page and/or category fragmentation and out of date information.
Editing this wiki
- Don't create a page unless you have a lot to write about. In most cases, this is better suited to be added to an existing page such as Class Software.
- If you create a page, add it to applicable categories or pages so people actually discover it.
- Don't create a category unless there are several pages that are in it.
- People don't navigate the wiki using categories. Instead, use terms you think people will use to search for your page.
- Explore Existing categories
Things to do
- Nearby functionality (See this issue)
- Add symbol copy area to MediaWiki footer
- Use transclusion for VTLUUG portal
- See Category:Needs restoration
