| linch7 | hi, I'm rel. new to ubuntu and just wrote a small howto for sync. my phone... where would be the best place to upload it? ubuntuforums.org? | 14:54 |
|---|---|---|
| seisen | well you can add it to the forums and add it the wiki if you would like | 14:55 |
| linch7 | hi seisen, what wiki? :-) | 14:55 |
| seisen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ | 14:56 |
| linch7 | not sure where to start | 15:00 |
| seisen | on the wiki or the forums/ | 15:00 |
| linch7 | well, how do I post my howto on the wiki? | 15:01 |
| seisen | login in and create a new page | 15:02 |
| linch4 | is it just me or the wiki pages are sometimes very slow to load? | 19:12 |
| seisen | could be a possibility | 19:13 |
| linch4 | yes, anyway, I've never edited wiki pages before and I'm not sure what's the best thing to do... i found something that should get updated :-) what's best to do? edit the page and add my comments in it or is there something like a place where I could add my comments for the creator (or others) to review? | 19:15 |
| seisen | anybody can edit the page | 19:17 |
| seisen | you don't have to add comments but if you want you can | 19:17 |
| linch4 | ok, i guess best is to give it a go... ty | 19:18 |
| seisen | if you mess something up it can always be reverted back to the way it was | 19:18 |
| seisen | if you have any qeustions just feel free to ask | 19:18 |
| linch4 | is it you find it useful to have a "discuss this page" link on a wiki page? I'm thinking, people who don't want (or don't know how) to edit the wiki could leave there comments there... is it a common and recommended thing to do? | 20:21 |
| seisen | I think it clogs the page up myself but that is my opinion | 20:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah im not a big fan of the discussion stuf | 20:28 |
| Rocket2DMn | or the pages that are starting to list contributors | 20:28 |
| linch4 | actually, i tried to add one but it doesn't seam to work the way i'd like / thought... you cannot simply add a comment; it seams you still need to edit the page the normal way. | 20:35 |
| Rocket2DMn | thats right | 20:42 |
| linch4 | I think I found a bug in the wiki... | 20:45 |
| linch4 | It says in a template : | 20:45 |
| linch4 | Please sign your comments by pasting `@SIG@` after them. | 20:45 |
| linch4 | when I save the page the `@SIG@` sign is no longer there and has been replaced by my username.... | 20:45 |
| linch4 | I don't think that's what we want. Anyone know how to make the `@SIG@` appear like this on the page? I tried with a backslash before it but didn't work. | 20:45 |
| linch4 | another question: is there such thing as a test page? where I can test my syntax out? .... isn't it prone to abuse if anyone can create pages in the wiki? | 20:57 |
| linch4 | can I just create any kine of page (e.g. /test030483) and try my syntax there? | 20:57 |
| Rocket2DMn | what exactly are you trying to test | 21:00 |
| Rocket2DMn | if yo uare working on a wiki page you can click the Preview button | 21:00 |
| Rocket2DMn | what page are you looking at for that @SIG@ | 21:01 |
| seisen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiSandBox | 21:01 |
| linch4 | yes, in the case of the `@SIG@` however it displayed `@SIG@` in the preview and then changed to myusername in the real page... the `@SIG@` was then gone for ever from the edit page. | 21:02 |
| linch4 | ty for the sandbox :-) | 21:03 |
| linch4 | the page I was edding is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NokiaEvolutionBluetoothSyncing/PageDiscussion | 21:04 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah i think thats how its supposed to work | 21:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | note that wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com are using different versions of the wiki software, so some things are different, like linking | 21:07 |
| linch4 | ok... will work around it by typing `@SIG@` with spaces like ` @ S I G @ ` | 21:08 |
| linch4 | ty | 21:08 |
