The +rep Wiki Page Thread

[Orjan]

Did you saw what I wrote on your talk page? Anyway, you deserves a lot +rep for all your job. +rep

Did you see that I replied to you?

[Vswe]

Yes, But I didn't understood why only one user counted as a user.

[Jordan]

Because the user database is the CodeCall Forum database. When the Wiki searches it's user database it only finds one user, the default administrator.

I would like to say something about Templates in the wiki.
Templates is a very good thing as it makes pages uniformed, and makes it easier for everyone to create good looking pages. We can create our own templates very easy, so feel free to create one needed, or request one from me of v0id, and we can help out.

Templates are a bit like functions in any program language, so we can pass forward arguments to fill in specific parts of a template.

The most common Template we have is {{Stub}} which merely adds a box on top of the page notifying that the page needs more information to feel informational enough, I beg everyone to add this template at the very first row on your article if you think it needs additional text.

If anyone considers a page not suitable for our focus area, which is programming and programming support things including mathematics and since the merge with TP, everything regarding linux as well, we have a template {{Proposed deletion|~~~~~}} which adds a information bar with suggestion to delete the article.

To suggest a merge on two articles, add a {{Proposed merge|other_article_name}}

some additional information on templates is to be found here: Help:Guidelines - CodeCall Programming Wiki

For a list of all templates, see here: All pages (Template namespace) - CodeCall Programming Wiki

Brilliant thread. I have +repped a couple of you. Your page on Google Chrome, Vswe, has even made it to the main page as the featured page, nice work. I hope even more users will start contributing!

When creating a new page or editing an existing one, try to categorize the page as well, as it makes it easier to find later. Most templates automatically categorize a page when it is used, so looking for a template is, in most situations, the first step to take. Templates not existing can be requested, like noted by Orjan above.

Thanks v0id. I will making more pages for sure. Here's a list from my sidebar notebook:

WIKIPAGES:
visual basic
VBScript
javascript (improve)
html (improve)
CodeCall (improve)
Division by zero(:P)

Not so hard to guess what it is...

[Vswe]

I managed to get some time at the computer when everyone were busy in the kitchen...

CodeCall^Wiki

Words: 830 (there already were a sentence before I started)
Characters: 5332 (with spaces)
Paragraphs: 85 (Not sure if my program calculated it right)


This is now the longest page on the Wiki acording to this: Long pages - CodeCall Programming Wiki

[Jordan]

Wow! Very nice work. We can now link new users there that have questions about CC. +rep!

[Vswe]

I thought it was that the wiki was meant for

[Ronin]

How do I make a page?
