Thread:Project:Support desk/Suggestion for improving documentation

Hi

I've previously installed a basic MediaWiki installation and now am trying to install MediaWiki on a website including the Visual Editor and Flow extensions. I'm learning how to do things as I go and I'm finding the instructions very difficult to follow because they require you to know certain skills that are not clearly defined in the instructions what these skills are.

e.g (from the Visual Editor extension page)

"You can download the VisualEditor-MediaWiki extension directly from the MediaWiki source code repository (browse code). We recommend that you get it via git using the following instructions in your shell."

It would be very useful indeed if there was a skills you need box and thesaurus at the top of each extension with links to guides or at least a clear description of the skills so that it easy to Google to find a guide.

Thanks
