[opensuse-wiki] Templates Intro and Info in Dutch wiki behave different compared to English wiki
by Freek de Kruijf 16 May '13

I use copies of the templates Intro and Info from the English wiki in the Dutch wiki. However in the English wiki they show resp. a blue and a gray vertical bar in front of the text. In the Dutch wiki there is no vertical bar present. How do I get this bar? -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-wiki] AMD articles: please review HCL and suggestion about SDB:RadeonHD
by Andre Kaper en Edith Smit 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello all, I'm still working on the AMD articles (HCL and SDB). I edited the HCL:AMD article by copying hardware compatability info from the SDB:articles and wish to go on, by deleting this information from the SDB articles themselves. I think this way the HCL article is easier to maintain. It is imho beyond our reach to maintain an updated article with every netbook, desktop or laptop with AMD graphical hardware. So please review the HCL article. Then I know how to edit the SDB articles coering the drivers. I also have a suggestion for the SDB:Radeonhd article. Are there nowadays circumstances where you'd better use radeonhd instead of radeon? I think not, if I read this from the Xorg radeonhd wiki: Status 09/2010: Linux distributions, including Novell's openSUSE, have now abandoned radeonhd as the default driver, instead using the radeon driver. radeon has more features, including Kernel Mode-Setting support and more 3D support, and it supports all Radeon generation from original R100 Radeons to R800 Radeons (HD 5000 series). Radeonhd can be continued to be updated as long as there are people find it useful. My suggestion would be to archive this page and to delete links from the other AMD graphical hardware articles to this radeonhd article. I don't know how to archive a page, so perhaps someone can explain this shortly or perhaps do this by him- or herself? Greetings and best wishes to all of you out there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Updates
by Dustin Falgout 07 May '13

Hello all! There are a large number of pages in the wiki with well-written, appropriate changes waiting for review. I was wondering how long it normally takes before someone is able to approve wiki changes. Nothing that I have personally submitted over the last month has been reviewed. If its a matter of not having enough people then I would gladly volunteer to help out. I joined the wiki maintainers community and visited the IRC channel but have yet to reach anyone. If someone could point me in the right direction as to who to contact in order to volunteer, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Dustin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] The use of templates in the wiki
by Andre Kaper en Edith Smit 07 May '13

07 May '13

Recently I decided to translate a number of articles about AMD graphical hardware into the Dutch language, but I found myself mainly editing English AMD articles before I could actually do just that. I edited the SDB:radeon page because it went no further than openSUSE 11.4 and it didn't follow wiki guidelines. If someone could review this, I would be very pleased. Question: After a recent discussion on the Dutch forum with a forum moderator about the AMD/ATI wiki pages containing information in too great of a detail, I read the wiki guideline articles and now I'm a bit confused. For example I would like to do something like this: Portal: AMD HCL:AMD (for all drivertypes one article, containing the lists that are now in the SDB articles) Howto:AMD (for all drivertypes one article for installation and setup for beginners) SDB:AMD radeon and radeonhd (details, troubleshooting, finetuning) SDB: AMD fglrx and fglrx-legacy (details, CLI installation procedures, troubleshooting, finetuning) And perhaps a FAQ:AMD (when to install what, questions asked on the forum) But imho it seems to be the practice all around the wiki to mainly use SDB templates. I hope some people can elaborate on this. I need some feedback before I feel free to go any further. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org
