How 2: Contribute to the wiki

[Pappy_reen]

Hi all:

Wanting to contribute to the wiki here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki 

When I follow the 'help' hyperlink outlining how to start contributing it takes me to an index of all pages, none of which is help!!

What is this idiot doing wrong? Please help!

Hello, I'm not 100% sure, but I would guess that's leftover from the old wiki, and I think it might have been a default page just talking about basic formatting etc, so it's not a big loss. You might want to take that as your first project: creating the Help page and figuring out what goes on there as you figure the wiki out. I would presume the first step would be to ask for edit/create permissions though, as that doesn't seem to come automatically. I'm not sure who to ask though, maybe @Stan` ?

Thanks for the reply - I agree, as soon as I have things working for myself I wanted to make a 'getting started' page and work my way on through that.

After a general browse it seems there is a lot of information on the wiki for technical people / contributors and far less for users, so wanted to add to that corpus.

Hopefully @Stan`or somebody else can help out!

@Pappy_reen Showing some love to the Wiki would be great.

Back when the Wiki was on Trac (https://trac.wildfiregames.com/) the "help" link pointed to this: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/TracGuide, which is obviously no longer necessary, but an equivalent about the Gitea Wiki would be nice.

I'm pretty sure you need contributor status in order to be able to edit the Wiki, which you usually receive after any pull request of you is merged. But I think that admins can also manually give the label to your account. @Stan`@Itms
