Project:PD help/ksh

Ziel
De eetßte Idee es, ene Knubbel SIgge ze maache, di en sesch e neu Wiki erövver koppeere lohße, udder en de ußjelivverte Version vun MendijaWiki dren shtääsche künne. Dat sull de jrundlääje Enfommazjuhne för jeede Metmaacher ömfaße, un ander Övverbleckssaacher, en en vernönftijee un koote Aat. Der Aansaz es, ene komprimmeete Saz vun Leijtlinnije för e Metmaacher-Handboch ze maache, nit en komplääte Revveränz met allem dröm un draahn. Et sullt sesch domet befaße, wat der jewööhnlijje Metmaacher bruch, un met ander Saache nit.

De Lässer - Dä Normaale Metmaacher
De Hölp-Sigge sin vör allem för der nommaale Besöker em Wiki jedaach un jemaat.

Nit däm ßööver sing Administratore
Mer welle nit de kumplätte Dokkemäntazjuhn för MedijaWiki widerholle. Enfommazjuhne för de Administroore vun op däm ßööver Nivoh, Enshtallazjuhne, Enresschtunge, un et en Schoß hallde vun MedijaWiki, jehööt en et Handbooch.

De eijnizze kleine Ußnahm sen de Käßte met Tips för de Administratoore, süsch onge.

Enfommazjuhne för de Wiki_Köbesse un Bürrokraate shton zerök
De Hölp_Sigge wöhre nit kumplät, without also describing what 'Wiki_Köbesse' can do, however these more advanced features are not available to majority of a target audience (the majority of wiki users). As such, we should keep this information a little bit separate, so that normal users are not confronted with information which is not relevant to them. Within the bulk of the Help pages we will make brief mentions of things which require sysop priviledges, but detailed descriptions of sysop procedures should be tucked away on less prominently linked pages, or should be left out of the Help pages all together.

Heh dä Afschnett weed beklaaf.

Reeschlinnije för et Schriive

 * Create links between the pages, but avoid linking to other namespaces on MediaWiki.org. Keep the links internal to the public domain help pages, or make external links (full URL) to relevant resources e.g. on meta.wikimedia.org. This is to facilitate easier copying of the text into fresh wiki installations. Do not use interwiki links as these may not exist in the target wiki.
 * We probably don't want to swap in the syntax anywhere. MediaWiki is the name of the software we are describing. This is the software that powers the destination wiki, so anywhere where our text is referring to the software (everywhere throughout help) it should be left as a literal string "MediaWiki". If for some reason the help text is mentioning the name of the site, then this would be an appropriate exception (use  ), but we are not going to swap this in everywhere where we mention the word MediaWiki.


 * Translations should be done after the English version of a page has reached a stable status. The naming convention es.


 * Unless you have the perfect solution for navigation in this manual, please refrain from creating navigation templates and create content first.

Et Formatteere

 * Formatting should be consistent. Use  for any tables you create, highlight cells or rows with   etc. (see Template talk:Prettytable)


 * All wiki markup and code should be put in  or   tags. Help for inserting:.


 * All references to menu texts and descriptions should appear in italic.

Beldscher vum Beldscherrem
''There is some discussion about whether we want screenshot images on the help pages. See the talk page here, and also Project:Current issues''

Screenshots are deprecated until this is decided. i.e. don't add any more, but don't delete the existing ones.

Advantages of screenshot images
 * An image says more than words. For friendly user help, it is important to provide illustrations.
 * Some users are visual learners. Images help to include them.
 * Images help users locate things on the screen.
 * Images provide feedback by matching what's on the screen with the screenshot.

Disadvantages of screenshot images
 * MediaWiki has a built-in import/export feature, but this doesn't work with images.
 * Licensing issues. Can MediaWiki screenshots be licensed PD?
 * We can get by without them. Nothing we describe in the help pages requires an image to illustrate.
 * Images increase overall file size.
 * Layout/colour differences between the installation (+selected skin) and the screenshots may be confusing.
