Editing the Propeller Wiki

Who can edit this Wiki?

Anyone can. If you see something that is wrong, or needs a extra bit of explanation, or is missing some technical detail, or could just do with rearranging, just dive in and change it. Be bold! You don't even have to create an account to do the editing, although if you do, you'll be better able to keep track of what edits you've done. If you want to create a whole new page, you will have to create an account though.

Can I create a page about my project or product?

Sure you can. If it will be of interest to other Propeller users, it's welcome here. And who better to write about it than you? You might already have some content that you've written for the manual or your website that you want to reproduce here. But think factual and informative rather than plugging and advertisement.

Style

Think of the Wiki as an encyclopedia of topics related to the Propeller. Try to keep it impersonal. If you use the personal pronoun "I", that might make sense at the time you are first creating a page, but over a persiod of time, a page will have text written by multiple people, and "I" won't make any sense any more. Don't worry about being comprehensive. If you omit things and they're important, someone else can add them later.

Editing

Just hit the "Edit" button at the top of the page you want to change. You start with a Visual Editor, but you can change to a Text Editor which accepts standard wikitext markup if you prefer. If ever you get strange things happening in the Visual Editor, it's often a good idea to switch to the Text Editor to see what's wrong.

Creating a new page

Click the "New Page" button at the top of the page. You'll have to be logged in to see it. You then get to choose the page name. Try to make this brief but descriptive of the content. It appears in lists elsewhere in the system and needs to be obvious. Use '_' instead of spaces. Make sure that you add a link to the new page in one of the existing pages.

Formatting

Please see the github help for how to format a wiki page. We try to use markdown wherever possible.
