Contributing

This page describes how to contribute to this wiki, and things that need to be done as well. [w:Wikipedia:Contributing_to_Wikipedia|Wikipedia's guide]] has a good overview about contributing, but this page is specific to this Wiki.

A large problem we've had is page and/or category fragmentation and also out of date information.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 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.

Things to do

• Wikimedia mobile deployment
• Add symbol copy area to MediaWiki footer
• Use transclusion for VTLUUG portal
