=Editing the VTLUUG Wiki=
Everyone is invited improve the VTLUUG Wiki through additions and edits. The wiki is powered by [[w:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], the same code that [[w:Main_Page|Wikipedia]] runs on. For an introduction to editing MediaWiki pages, see [[w:How to edit a page|Wikipedia's editing instructions]]. While this and other pages may list some guidelines and rules, if a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining the VTLUUG Wiki, ignore it.
==Editing Suggestions==
* [[w:Wikipedia:Be bold|Be bold]]
* Provide a [[tl;dr]] summary.
* Upload pretty screenshots in [[:Category:Howtos|howto articles]].
* Tackle large coverage expansion goals incrementally.
==Conventions==
* "at Virginia Tech" is an assumed suffix for every title. You can add a redirect if you'd like, but the shorter name should be the main article.
* In general, follow [[w:Wikipedia:Naming conventions|Wikipedia's naming conventions]].
* Follow [http://www.cmu.edu/styleguide/capitalization.html Carnegie Mellon's capitalization guidelines] for university-related capitalization.
=Licensing=

Do not submit copyrighted work without permission. This includes copying and pasting Knowledgebase articles. Copying from appropriate [[copyleft]] sources such as Wikipedia with proper attribution is acceptable, but consider whether improving the original content and linking there via an interwiki or external link is more appropriate.
If you do not want your writing to undergo the merciless collaborative editing of a wiki or be redistributed at will, then do not submit your work to the VTLUUG Wiki.
=Non-Standard Features=
Currently, the VTLUUG Wiki has two four plugins installed: [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CanonicalHref/CanonicalHref.php Canonical Href], [[mw:Extension:Cite|Cite]], [[mw:Extension:ReCAPTCHA|ReCAPTCHA]] and [[mw:Extension:SlippyMap|SlippyMap]]. See [[Special:Version]] for exact versions. Also, the [[w:interwiki|interwiki]] links table has been tweaked. Currently, we support the interwiki links below. The <code>$1</code> will be replaced with intended page name. See the source of this section by clicking the <code>Edit</code> link to the right for several examples.
