Wiki Team

From openSUSE

Volunteers - Start Here

The first thing to do is to create an account. Next, learn some basics on how to edit a wiki page. Once you have figured out the basics, you can look at the Maintenance Tasks below as they include lots of pages that need attention, every little bit helps.

• What is a wiki?
• Wiki Help
• How to Edit a Page—If you only read one page on how to use a Wiki, make it this one.

To just play with editing a page, use your own user page or the OpenSUSE:Sandbox.

For those who would like to delve into matters, here are the guides and policies:

• Style Guide How to write pages?
• Deletion Policy When is time to remove page?
• Wanted Pages For those that want some fun and to make this wiki better place.

Statistics

Current Wiki Team Tasks

These are now listed on the general openSUSE Project Tasks page.

Maintenance tasks

• Wiki Team/Current Actions

These tasks are always in need of attention

• Outdated Pages—Pages that need some update to present current situation properly.

• Obsolete Pages—Pages that are not needed anymore because they describe obsolete stuff.

• Pages to Cleanup—Pages that don't currently meet our high standard of excellence.

• Sections of articles that need cleanup The same as above, but related to parts of articles.

• Pages to Merge—Pages that need to be merged with other pages.

• Pages to Expand—Pages that need to be expanded to fully cover a topic.

• Pages to move to the SDB—Pages that should be polished to adhere the Support Database (SDB) standards and be moved to the category SDB.

• Pages to Delete—Pages that have been marked for deletion.

• Lonely Pages— These are pages are not linked anywhere, and thus inaccessible without the use of the search engine.

• Wanted Pages— These pages don't exist, but there are two or more links to them. In other words, if you want to write article that people need check this list first.

• Double Redirects— Redirects that redirect to a redirect

• Broken Redirects— Redirects that redirect to a non-existing page

• Unused categories— categories with no pages in it

• Uncategorized pages— pages that are not in any category

• Categories — categories without description, by default red colored links
