This page explains the methods used to maintain KDE's developer wiki.
Top pages
The most important pages on this wiki are the top or root pages (in alphabetical order):
- Contribute
- Development
- Development/Architecture
- Development/FAQs
- Development/Further Information
- Development/Guidelines
- Development/Languages
- Development/Tools
- Development/Tutorials
- Getting Started
- ISV
- Policies
- Projects
- Schedules
- KDE System Administration
All other pages/articles belong to one of those pages (or their sub-pages) which means we heavily use sub-pages to maintain the structure and a hierarchy to not lose the overview.
Sub-pages
A sub-page is a parent-child relation. In the following example Development is the parent of Tutorials, or the other way round: The page Tutorials is a sub-page (or a child) of Development
Development/Tutorials
Using sub-pages has several advantages:
- they automatically provide us with a hierarchy which is reflected in the URL itself
- automatically generated backlinks provide easy navigation
As an example, look at the page
Development/Architecture/KDE3/Library Structure
you can see following the links on the very top of the page:
< Development | Architecture | KDE3
Categories
In short, a category is a tag which appears at the very bottom of an article. As such, categories provide automatic indexes that are useful as tables of contents. Together with links and templates they help structure a project.
- List of categories
- List of unused categories - Feel free to use them
Be sure to read the category page (e.g. Category:Documentation) before tagging a page with it to make sure you're using it correctly.
Important special pages
There are several special pages which help us to maintain a clean wiki:
- Issues which should be fixed as soon as possible
- Special:Lonelypages
- Special:BrokenRedirects
- Special:DoubleRedirects
- Issues which should be fixed in time
- Special:Wantedpages
- Special:Wantedcategories
