That is, feel free to write what ''might'' or ''might not'' be fact, but qualify what ''is intended' to be factual. | ||
Some of the information that may be found on this wiki is carefully written and with a particularly writing style (e.g., consistent tense and syntax; addressing the reader in the third person rather than directly). Please familiarize yourself with a given article's (i.e., page's) writing style before contributing so as to maintain consistency within the article. If there is a reason to alter the manner in which a page is written or laid out, please consult the original author(s) prior to making large changes. | |||
HOWEVER, We want to facilitate community contributions, so we encourage this and provide a [http://forum.step-project.com/showthread.php?tid=1241&pid=16772#pid16772 forum thread for discussions of wiki topics]. The OP has a list of wanted & needed contributions, so feel free to jump in on that thread and get a feel for what is wanted and needed before diving in. | |||
=== Useful Editing Tips === | |||
A wiki is simply an integrated assemblage of articles (i.e., pages) containing information that usually links to other wiki pages (i.e., articles). Every internal wiki link points to another page. If the link is blue, the page exists, and if it is orange, the page is referenced, but has not been created. Feel free to click on orange links and create the page by adding something relevant and saving. | |||
* The wiki '''search bar''' is located at the bottom right of the browser window. Use this to find just about anything quickly. | |||
* From the Header bar at top, select '''WIKI > Recent Changes''' to get a look at the most recent activity on the wiki. This is often the most convenient way to find a project of interest (and to see who may be fiddling around lately). | |||
* Select '''TOOLBOX > SPECIAL PAGES''' and towards the bottom of the first list under "Maintenance Reports", there are links to "Wanted" pages. This means that someone has created an article with reference to information that is not yet defined (i.e., by creating the page). | |||
* The simplest way to get started on the wiki is to begin by playing around under your personal user page: | |||
