[opensuse-wiki] The use of templates in the wiki
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@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner@opensuse.org

One thing that was kind of new in the SDB:Radeon page was navigation, that is now replaced with Knowledge template. I approved page as is because I have no idea when I will redesign that template. (It was designed before we had idea what new wiki tools can do, so all updates are manual, instead of using semiautomatic update by publishing category listing.)

AMD graphics is probably too small topic to use portal for that. Graphic support and troubleshooting, in general, is another pair of shoes. Something like "Portal:Graphics" would be large enough.
HCL:AMD (for all drivertypes one article, containing the lists that are now in the SDB articles)
HCL name space can be used for driver support for hardware.
Howto:AMD (for all drivertypes one article for installation and setup for beginners)
Howto name space was defined in old wiki. It is not defined in a new one, and it is depreciated as all that stuff should go to SDB name space. I have to see status in language wikis.
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.
FAQ name space is the same case as Howto. It is not defined in a new wiki.
I hope some people can elaborate on this. I need some feedback before I feel free to go any further.
I hope above helps, if you have more questions, just ask. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner@opensuse.org
