Need help with wiki post

Postby Jdx » Sun Mar 11, 2012 20:19

Hello, I have recently updated the nvidia closed blob entry of the wiki, but since it was my first ever wiki entry, I have not the slightest Idea for how to format it

Could an wiki admin fix it to , where it is exacting to sabayon wiki standards?
The information is fine and, very extensive and complete, nothing wrong with that fact,
it's just the way it is presented, that makes it look "off" a bit sloppy and plain, in other words
also, it might be ALOT more wordy than the previous revision, but I wanted to make sure I had all the proper bases covered

Thanks!

Well,

As a recommendation, you can try the trick that I use when posting to wiki's:
  1. Start with your page laid out the way you want it to read.
  2. Find a wiki page that has the look/layout that you need.
  3. On the Sabayon Wiki's, you click the "View Source" tab at the top of the specific wiki. As an example, here is the source for the top couple of sections of the Sabayon Wiki index page:
    Code: Select all
    {{I18n| [[Ca:Main_Page|ca]] [[Cs:Main_Page|cs]] [[De:Hauptseite|de]] [[En:Main_Page|en]] [[Es:Main_Page|es]] [[Fr:Main_Page|fr]] [[Gr:Main_Page|gr]] [[Id:Main_Page|id]] [[It:Main_Page|it]] [[Pl:Strona_Glowna|pl]] [[Ru:Main_Page|ru]] [[Sv:Main_Page|sv]] [[TR:Ana_Sayfa|tr]] [[Zh_TW:Main_Page|zh_tw]]}}

    ='''Welcome to Sabayon Linux Wiki!'''=
    {{Featured|[[Entropy| En:Entropy]]|Entropy is our answer to Portage. This is a binary-based client that is designed to allow more freedom to new users, and more choices in packages in the community repos.}}

    Sabayon Linux is based on the source-based distro named [http://www.gentoo.org/ Gentoo]. Gentoo is a highly customizable distro and, using Gentoo's excellent development techniques, we have created a pre-configured distribution with the tenets of Performance, Versatility, and Stability.  Please see the [[Introduction]] and [[Sabayon Linux]] sections in this Wiki, and we stress highly that you need to learn how to use the package managers [[Entropy]] and Portage ([[HOWTO: The Complete Portage Guide]]). We do stress the use of Entropy rather than Portage, but you will need to understand Portage also.

    ===Editors===
    Wiki editors, make sure you look at the [[Editing Guidelines]] before editing or creating a new article, and add new articles to their appropriate sections below.

    We are always looking for translators.  We want to be able to bring Sabayon Linux to the entire World, but we need '''your''' help to do that.  Please look at the  Wiki article on [[En:Translations|translations]] and feel free to edit/add any page you like.

  4. Start copying the formatting into your page to get it looking right.

HTH. Let us know.
