What should I know about editing?

  • Read QuickStart

  • We expect everybody to follow our Code of Conduct

  • Make sure you're on the Trusted Editors page

  • Be concise.
  • Stay on topic for a page.
  • Be courteous on pages you don't maintain.
  • If you are not the creator of a page try to include a reason when making page edits unless it is completely obvious.
  • Use relative page links when linking to a sub-page. For example, if you have a page called "Apps/FooBar/Screenshots" a link to it from "Apps/FooBar" should look like "/Screenshots". This facilitates page renaming and easier maintenance.

  • Try to follow the format found in the Template in each section. For example, this template for applications.

  • If you Subscribe to a page you can get email every time the content is changed.
  • Old Revisions can be restored if needed.
