I started a wiki page for SSD info: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SSD_discard/trim_support
It is not comprehensive and I don't think it answers your questions, but it would be a good place to start accumulating knowledge. Feel free to update it.
SDB is right namespace for your article. It looks good for new article writer. I miss recommended articles. They are prerequisites to understand topic. It is good if they are present in the wiki, but if there is none, just link web page that explains topic. If there is only one article, then you can remove other 2 "Info page" links. Related articles is part that should expand readers knowledge about topic of your article. The priority is the same as with recommended, first our wiki, then web. Also you should remove superfluous "Related article" links. If there is more links with related or recommended reading then you can use classic Wikipedia sections: ==See also== for internal links, and ==External links== for (the name tells) Avoid slash (/) in the article or section title. ------------- In MediaWiki title is part of URL and slash in the URL has special meaning for browsers and download software. For instance wget will download your article as "trim_support" in directory "SDB:SSD_discard" :) Imagine that you want to reference section "11.2 / 11.3 Kernel support". URL is: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SSD_discard/trim_support#11.2_/_11.3_Kernel_suppo... In some namespaces we have enabled feature called subpages that is using slash to allow back links from subpage to main one, so "SDB:SSD_discard/trim_support" would be subpage of "SDB:SSD_discard", which may or may not make sense. In general, subpages are fine only for special use cases and Wikipedia that has much more experience then we are banned subpages from their main (information) namespace. I would move article to different title, if I would know what is relation between "SSD_discard" and "trim_support". Is it AND, or it is OR, or something else :) I suspect that title without slash will be: "SDB:SSD_discard and trim_support" but I'm not sure. ------------- Removed link to: [[Warning:This is my first new page on the new wiki. I have not idea if this is the right place for it. Please feel free to move it around in the new layout. I had been holding onto this info until the new wiki appeared.]] The syntax was for the link to non existing article, where the title is all text between [[ and ]]. You probably wanted: {{Warning|This ... }} Which will produce warning note. Such warning fits fine on discussion page, not the main. It is more message to wiki maintenance that you need help, but when it is on article discussion page only those that follow the topic will be aware of you message. It is better to use: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wiki_team_message_board or opensuse-wiki@opensuse.org or http://forums.opensuse.org/english/community/opensuse-wiki-discussions/ -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
