''Editing Guidelines:'' A guide to making decent, working wiki articles.
{{Warning| '''Work in Progress'''}} - That is for sure lol.

== Guidelines ==

*Make decent articles; and make them worthwhile. Meaning that if you don't see any use for it; don't put it here.
*Make sure that '''ALL''' the information in your articles are correct. I don't care if you have to run through the steps yourself; if the information isn't correct then chances are that it will be edited to be corrected or even worse, deleted.
*Use the correct code for the correct type of line.

{{Code|Python|<pre class="clear">
def chklayman(pkgname):
lst = os.listdir(laymandir)
for line in lst:
if os.path.isdir(laymandir+line+"/"+pkgname):
print 'Package found in '+laymandir+line+'/'+pkgname
return 1 </pre>}}
<nowiki>{{Code|Insert Name of Code here|<pre class="clear">
(Insert code here) </pre>}}</nowiki> To get the above shown box.

{{File| /etc/X11/xorg.conf|<pre class="clear"># **********************************************************************
# Screen sections.
# **********************************************************************

Section "Screen"

# The Identifier, Device and Monitor lines must be present

Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "VESA"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"

</pre>}}
<nowiki>{{File| (Name of File)| <pre class="clear"> (File Contents) </pre>}}</nowiki> tag for this file box. Use this box for the contents of files.

{{Console|<pre class="clear"> # emerge --sync</pre>}}
Use <nowiki>{{Console| <pre class="clear"> (console commands & info) </pre>}}</nowiki> for console input/output

And remember to close each tag with a </pre> tag. Because if you don't then all of your text will end up in one big box.

*Use the <nowiki>{{Commandgui|<highlighted word>}}</nowiki> for highlighting keywords such as things that need to be looked for in a dialog box.

*If you have warnings such as "May break your system" or "Use with caution" then use the <nowiki>{{Warning| <Insert Warning Here>}}</nowiki>

*If you have a note such as "Emerge --sync your portage before doing this step" or "May give more than what you need in packages" then use the <nowiki>{{Note| Insert Note Here}}</nowiki> template.

*Please don't spam. If you spam we will block you and your IP. No exceptions.

*Keep your articles simple. Don't include useless crap. Just what needs to be there. However if you need to post something like the output of lspci or something long use a scrollbar box by using one of the three templates shown above.

*If you could go through and cleanup useless or outdated articles by updating them. Thanks guys!
