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 dashes 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.
Translation workflow
For the best organization, keep the original English path unchanged, just change the language code prefix. So en/home will become fr/home, it/home, etc.
As another example /en/doc/guides/howto-list-packages-iso will become /it/doc/guides/howto-list-packages-iso and your translated page title (which is quite another thing from path) will be "Come ottenere una lista di tutti i pacchetti presenti nella ISO"
Keep in mind that the path is a convention, the page title can be whatever in own language.
The above action however is simplified and automatically performed by clicking the Language icon on top right of the page.
