Wiki Syntax
To get started with the MediaWiki syntax, read:
Tips
- Syntax highlighting
- Wrap your C++ Qt/KDE code snippets in <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">, <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp" line="">, <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp-qt"> and </syntaxhighlight> to get syntax highlighting (cpp for C++, cpp-qt for Qt) and numbered lines (line=""). Replace cpp with the language used, e.g. ruby for Ruby and python for Python (soon). Use ini for .desktop files, xml for XML files.
New Templates
To get a list of pages using a template, go to corresponding template page (e.g. Template:movepage) and click "What links here" in the toolbox.
