====== Notes for Editors ======

Editing page content is easy. Please follow the notes above the edit-toolbar (when editing a page) to get you started with dokuwiki.

most entries are still barebone **meta**-information (only visible in box or index) with little extras, or few comments. It should be straight forward to fill in or update meta-tags like //screenshot//, //link//, //author//, etc. and extend the wiki-page with information.

Re-assigning **tags** (or meta-topic, meta-category) is not as easy as we would like to have! At the moment new categories are generated by using a new tag in any wiki page. 

The category page corresponding to a tag is **not** automatically generated, but has a generate-template (just click create and save). - look up [[:apps:index|existing category tags]] and extend this list by hand editing after inventing new tags! (this last step will soon be automated.)

===== creating new entries =====

  * there is a template of meta-information that we'd like you to fill in and the wiki page can extend as needed.
  * assigning tags, and meta-topics is still tricky
    - cut and paste [[:apps:index|category]] names
    - use underscores within one tag, use space to separates tags
    - each meta entry is unique!
    - [[tags_and_metas|read more]]
  * all applications or projects have their own wiki page in ''/apps:all:''//name//
    - choose a name for the application
    - visit the ''/apps:all:''//name// directly
    - clear the page to delete it.
    - edit/create it the same way :-)
    - we have a button for that, too:
{{NEWPAGE>apps:all|newpagetemplate=:site:lappstemplate&newpagevars=@TAG@,new;@TOPIC@,no_topic}}

===== Comments =====

We are considering to use dokuwiki also for comments and blogging, but until we decide so, we encourage to add comments directly to a wiki page under an appropriate heading at the bottom.

use the [[:wiki:start|wiki]] for suggestions or join discussion about ongoing work there.
