This is not your private wiki
eLinux.org is not an encyclopedia and not a wiki dedicated only towards he Raspberry Pi.
Many communities and development boards are being documented here.
There has been no / very little communication with the site owners and global admins about our project !
If someone knows anything else , especially about mode of administration and original site owner/project founder , please communicate !
Get involved
Need help ? Look here: Help:Contents.
AND: DICUSS - Use the discussion pages !
TIP: If you leave a message on the page, use this signature : ~~~~ .

Keep basic structure
- add [[Category:RaspberryPi]] to each of your articles and uploads
- put this at the end of your page :
=References= <references/>
Make it safe
Make it clear to which audience the current page is aimed at , as seen here RPi Advanced Setup
Keep the beginners in mind. The news of CE marking shows that a load of boards will get into the hans of end-users . There is no way to influence this , therefore , ADAPT.
- Do not expect torough knowledge of the subject.
- Simple language
- Clear intructions
- Clean and understandable structure - much room for improvement there.
Think of others
Goes hand in hand with Tip # 3. DO NOT BREAK LINKS. See Help:Moving_a_page and Help:Deleting_a_page. When the wiki gets more and more imortant over the time , we should avoid breaking old (and older) links. If you are unsure wheter your goal cannot achieved otherwise (logical link loop) , discuss with others first.
Use templates
Use the templates - this is not a recommendation !
- {{Template:Raspberry Pi}} for the main pages
- {{Template:RPi_Startup}} very important pages
Do not arbitarily extend and change them. They are specificially made for a better (BASIC) overview. Use Categories instead (Tip #2).
Keep it modular
If you see big lists and code listing cropping up , create a new article for them .
Bad Example : RPi Buying Guide had all the information now moved to RPi Buying Links By Country within a single page.
Please use the preview and see what monster you have created.
