OpenMandriva wiki specific rules

This page is a work in progress, it will be updated over time as soon as I find any reason to add more hints. {.is-info}

Images

Screenshots and common images which are inserted in wiki pages must be uploaded only to /images folder. It is what the folder has been created for.

Images file name should not contain:

  • Space (use dashes instead)
  • Underscore (use dashes instead)
  • Period (reserved for file extensions)
  • Unsafe URL characters (such as punctuation marks, quotes, math symbols, etc.)

When at all possible, rename your image filename to something meaningful related to the page or to what you are showing.

Paths

Paths must be lowercase. Use dashed to separate the words. No punctuation allowed except dashes/hyphens and/or underscores. -- Note: even if technically permitted, OpenMandriva wiki standard is to use dashes instead of underscores. No need for full title of the page in the path: it can, and should when possible, be shortened.

Paths cannot contain the following characters:

  • Space (use dashes instead)
  • Period (reserved for file extensions)
  • Unsafe URL characters (such as punctuation marks, quotes, math symbols, etc.)

As we often have to write release version number (4.0, 4.1, 4.2, etc.), while creating new pages just convert it into 40, 41, 42, etc. by omitting the dot in the path.

If the page is called "How to foo bar whatever" the path must be /doc/guides/howto-something No how-to, no howtos, no how-tos, etc.
