Many organizations provide templates for these purposes. Writing style, it's true, is hard to capture in a template, but standardized formats, required links and their formats, layouts, all can be encapsulated easily into a single document, or a small set of documents, each with a specific function that could be described in a master documentation page. These documents could be used as a container for any new or updated pages.
Never having seen (or even having previously heard of) a wiki design language, which I infer is being referred to in some of the messages I've read during the past few days of watching this list, it also seems a few layout scripts could be used as a resource for prospective editors.
Speaking of which, I subscribed because I'd like to participate. How do I go about getting involved? Not being knowledgeable in either linux or suse's variations on linux, I doubt that I could contribute much in the technical areas, but I could help out in regularizing the pages' layouts, style, and so forth.

Hello, Well i suppose there is hardly any need of templates to get to know the basic editing ideas in wiki(openSUSE) :).Initially when i started with editing i was = to a beginner or less that.The best thing which i can share with you is -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit .This can give a little hint or a brief idea on how to get started.And when you are almost thorough just keep on surfing the wiki - (http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Allpages) for minor faults and try to rectify them.And as the time advances you'll slowly and steadily get to know the things around :) Warm Regards Wwarlock(Shayon) :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
