Wiki Contributions & Translations
Contributing
Neos Wiki is a community project. Thank you for all your help and contributions! We are a tiny team and maintaining it wouldn't be possible without you.
How you can Help
The Neos Wiki is a very fast moving environment as the community try to keep up with various Neos Changes and updates. To that end it can be unclear what needs to be edited or tweaked. To help with this we have a number of pages which list content that is in need of attention. These pages are called Stubs. You can find a list of stubs on these automatically generated pages:
Check these pages regularly for lists of pages that need help.
Making Larger Changes
When making changes to the wiki, the general principle is to go right ahead. However, when making changes to larger pages such as the Main Page or pages which are edited, touched or translated frequently please be careful. There are sometimes subtleties and nuances that need to be covered when editing these pages. Please double check in the Wiki channel of the Neos Discord before you make such changes. The community there will say yes a lot of the time but sometimes a discussion may be required.
Editing Help
The Neos Wiki uses Media Wiki as its wiki engine and MediaWiki has extensive documentation on how to edit Wiki pages.
Everyone with a Neos Account is able to contribute to existing pages, translate and create new ones.
Categories
A Category is a way to categorize pages that follow a certain theme or topic. You can use them to group together these pages as a category page will create a table of pages within its category. For more information on categories please see Media Wiki's guide on categories
- A page can be in more than one category.
- Please try to avoid creating categories that have only one page within them.
Translating
To prepare a page for translation, please edit it to add tag
<languages/>
to the first line of the page to display language selector box and wrap the rest of the page in
<translate></translate>
tags to mark translatable content.
Follow the "Mark this page for translation" link that will now appear in page header. You can review translation units and hit "Mark this version for translation" button at the bottom to get translation process going.
Page header will now feature translation links for all logged in Wiki users.
Links to other pages can be translated using [[Main Page|Translation]] denotation in order to keep them pointing at the original page.
Known bug
We are working to lengthen the somewhat short login timeout. Please save your contributions and translations before sending forms as your session might have timed out while filling the form.
