    This page explains the methods used to maintain KDE's developer wiki.
    #REDIRECT [[Help:Contribute]]
     
    == 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]]
    ;[[SysAdmin]]
     
    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 loose 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]] | [[Development/Architecture|Architecture]] | [[Development/Architecture/KDE3|KDE 3 Architecture]]
     
    == Categories ==
    In short, a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category 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 to structure a project.
     
    * [[Special:Categories|List of categories]]
    * [[Special:Unusedcategories|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]]
     
    [[Category:Policies]]
