= Editing the BOINC Wiki = == Be Bold == Like Wikipedia, it does no harm to jump in and make a change. If the change is bad, someone else can always improve or revert it. == Discussion == #discussion The Trac wiki doesn't have a talk namespace. For incidental discussion, drop a comment into the page using {{{ {{{ #!comment Enter your comment here. }}} }}} For discussions requiring more input, create a separate page (Page/Talk), or take it to the [mlist:boinc_dev boinc_dev] list. == Templates == [/trac/templates/ Template index] * Mark new features with '''!VersionNew''': [[T(VersionNew|6.0)]] {{{ [[T(VersionNew|6.0)]] }}} The argument is the version number. For user-facing documentation, round alpha release numbers up to the next public release: for example, a feature added in 5.9.13 should be given as 5.10. * Protect email addresses with '''!MailHide''': [[T(MailHide|foo...|k=01y4tN5ayMx2SrjH73OG_NAw==&c=-FBkzvi511UzQSXSV-OlATQQdWLBOnU-1T2EryGjds0=)]] {{{ [[T(MailHide|foo...|k=01y4tN5ayMx2SrjH73OG_NAw==&c=-FBkzvi511UzQSXSV-OlATQQdWLBOnU-1T2EryGjds0=)]] }}} First parameter is the link text, usually the first few letters of the email address. The second parameter is the key given by [http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/ MailHide], in the form of '''`k=...&c=...`''' * Informational/warning messages * '''Info''' * '''Deprecated''' for pages that have no replacement and '''Replaced''' for pages that do. == Spam == Don't let spam slow you down, but be aware that if you edit a spammed page your changes will be reverted and reapplied. If your change isn't urgent, consider waiting until the spam is removed. This shouldn't take more than 10 minutes, there is a script automatically deleting spam. == Comment about changes == Please try to provide descriptive comments for all significant changes. For routine changes, here is a list of common comments: * '''m''' or '''Typo''': Very minor (non-substantive) changes, such as spelling corrections. * '''Initial version''': First draft of a new page. * '''Talk''' or '''Discussion''': Added [#discussion inline comments]. No actual content changes.
