You are welcome to contribute to the KDE TechBase wiki. In order to keep a high quality of the articles there are some guidelines you should follow.

What Content belongs into KDE TechBase

The KDE TechBase wiki is meant to contain technical information all around KDE, for instance

Developer Information (e.g. tutorials)
documentation for System Administrator
policies and schedules
etc.

More details can be found in the article Help:Wiki Structure. End-user documentation or API documentation should not be added here. For non-technical use cases use the KDE wiki.

Where to put new Articles

The KDE TechBase wiki uses subpages. Take a quick look at the article about the Help:Wiki Structure. In short: Do not randomly add toplevel pages.

It is possible to translate KDE TechBase articles into other languages. Read the article about Help:Wiki Translation for further details.

The Procedure

You want to add new content. To keep high quality, please create the article in your userpage first (e.g. User:foo/My Acticle). Once it is ready, discuss the article with other developers and proof-read it. Finally, if a location is found, move the page.

After moving the page please add yourself to the watch list by clicking the Watch register. You will get a notice by mail whenever the page changes.
