15 April 2022

The Wikiverse project is centered around the MediaWiki technology used by Funtoo, as well as the ongoing organization and community development of documentation on the wiki.

So You Want to Edit the Wiki, Eh?

Welcome! If you want to document anything on the wiki and you are starting from scratch, please use a user page to do so. A user page is a special page under your own personal page which can be used as scratch space. For example, here is a link to an example user page under your username.

Please work on your new content under user pages. When the content is ready, please open an issue on the bug tracker at https://bugs.funtoo.org to have your page reviewed and potentially promoted to.

But How Do I Use MediaWiki?

This site runs MediaWiki, which is the same software that powers Wikipedia. We have some Funtoo-specific templates and guidelines for using it, which can be read at Funtoo Editing Guidelines. The most important guideline to follow is in the section above -- use your own personal subpage space for new content. After that, consult the Funtoo Editing Guidelines to learn how to use wikitext and our templates.

Project Pages

We have something new and cool to help the project organize its work and give people spaces to connect with the Funtooverse --

"Project pages" are new infrastructure on the wiki designed to make it easy and fun to create dedicated pages for Funtoo Linux development efforts. Please see the Project Pages subpage for information on the new project pages system and associated templates.
