Wiki Guidelines

• Pages should be written in American English
• Try to be conform with the other pages in this wiki to have a common user experience across the wiki
• If necessary, a fixed page width can be set using the Wrap plugin for documents which really need it

Namespaces in DokuWiki are similar to categories and should be used as such.

Currently, the following namespaces are defined:

Create new pages in the appropriate namespace or create a new one if really necessary.

More information about namespaces can be found in the DokuWiki manual.

You can use tags to mark your page with keywords so it can be found more easily. Also, the specified tags are used for the tag cloud on the homepage of the wiki.

To specify tags for the page, simply add {{tag>tag1 tag2 tag3}} somewhere within the page, e.g. at the end of the page.

Example:

{{tag>howto win32 runtime}}

It may be useful to re-use one or more of the following often used tags, as appropriate:

If your page is about filetype/programming language specifics, also use a tag for the filetype or programming language you refer to.

You can use additional page formatting by using the Wrap plugin. Some examples can be found on Examples for the Wrap Plugin.

Things to be careful about:

• Acronyms can break headings (probably because the plugin doesn't prevent the acronym substitution in headings that the normal DokuWiki does)
