RPi Wiki Best Practice
Contents
Keep basic structure
- add [[Category:RaspberryPi]] to each of your articles and uploads
- put this at the end of your page :
=References=
Looks better ;-)
Get involved
Need help ? Look here: Help:Contents. DICUSS - Use the discussion pages !
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.
Think of others
Goes hand in hand with Tip # 2. 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
- {{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 #1).
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.
