The wiki menu has "change" and "create" under help, but neither seem to address what to do about a page that literally does exist, but contains no content relevant to its title, and no content exists on http://old-en.opensuse.org/ either. A thread on the opensuse list prompted me to consider providing content for /http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Boot_video_modes, but I've never done any more wiki work than minor edits. This seems like a big hump to get over. Any suggestions?

Sorry for late response Felix. Thanks for help with the article that will give our users openSUSE relevant information on a video modes available during the boot. First to edit you must be logged in. Unlike some other wikies, openSUSE has no mechanisam to allow anonymous editing. When you want to create page use Create that is located above the article in a line with SDB, Discussion, etc. That will load the edit page. Put article text in the edit box, check layout with preview, and when satisfied, save. Preview and save buttons are below the text input box. In case that you want to write article online, use Preview relatively often to refresh session and keep it alive. Session time limit is about 4 hours, so it is not annoyingly short, but it is pain to resque your text once you are logged out. For longer edits I use Firefox extension "Its all text" that allows simple cooperation of your favorite text editor with a browser. That way if session ends because I was too long inactive I still have all my work in a safe place. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org
