Fancy Boxes

TODO: Describe fancy* boxes, and explain the most fool-proof way of using them. Use this format, exactly:

   Important

Now you can put lots of funky stuff in here, like html tags, etc, and not have a problem with the parameter getting passed as the first parameter.

Cool!


ebuild documentation

http://www.funtoo.org/Adding_an_Ebuild_to_the_Wiki

i think the first part should have a link to adding the build wiki info. the pages should be linked against each other. & or transclusion at the bottom of this help article. (and a very minor note that the file stuff should be bundled into the fancy notes at the bottom.) =D <3 u guys

Special Characters

To produce pipes:

{{!}}

generates: |

(i think equals needs a similar template?)

   Note

That's right = I added it

Note that in general cases you can use the <nowiki> markup that displays inner content as-is, but for a single character that might have lots of occurrences that's quite a pain.

delete template

to flag a page as a candidate for deletion, insert

{{delete}}

at the top of a page.

   Warning

This page has been proposed for deletion because it does not meet the Editing Guidelines.
If you disagree, please discuss it here.

Minor edits ?

Should we use the checkbox "This is a minor edit" and when should we use it ? I often forget to set this option when I make what I consider a "minor edit", but what is the purpose? Is it somehow useful? -- Pytony (talk)

I really think we need a section explaining NOT to edit for W to w or category changes ONLY.... this is really a shortcoming in mediawiki not detecting "stub edits" and moving them out of the primary logs. this morning looking at the changes i see all these tiny commits, with out content being rolled in also. in all reality minor edits is poorly designed in the base web app and should be bug reported upstream. it should be include minor edits, rather than exclude minor edits.....

we need a note about user talk pages being a messaging system.... (i put a disqus on my talk page so i get email notifications when people say things to me) Threesixes (talk) 22:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

template requests

external resources

I would like a sexy little widget for by the top of the page with links to: tldp, wikipedia, ohloh, cvedetails, github, sourceforge, etc with sexy little icons. It will make our pages feel more interwoven with the larger linux community. ;-) Threesixes (talk) 23:30, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
