Contribution Guide

Please review the contents of this page to understand how DokuWiki is implemented and the methods you can use to contribute pages.

What can I edit?

Anything the site gives you permission to edit, including pages you didn't create.

Why? It takes a village to ensure the information on this site is current and correct. Brahe has been ongoing for six years, with no plans on stopping anytime soon. There are many people, places, and things which need to be kept current.

Syntax

DokuWiki does not use the familiar Markdown language which Discord and Discourse uses. Instead, it uses a special Wiki syntax which can be thought of us as progenitor to Markdown. Instead of reproducing the individual guides, we'll link to the different sites which contain detailed instructions.

Guide Description
DokuWiki General Syntax General language guide for this site.
DokuWiki Images Instructions on how to embed images
Infobox Plugin For modifying the right-hand summary box.
Comments Create hidden comments inside documents.
Tags Adds tags to pages which allow list pages to be generated.
Wrap Allows complex page formatting and design such as columns, spoilers, and advanced table functions.

Namespaces

Pages and media (ie images, files) in DokuWiki are stored with a colon-deliminated path where each colon is like a directory name. For instance, this page is called lcars:contribute. You can think of this as C:\lcars\contribute.html if it helps.

To accommodate may files and pages, a simple namespace structure has been created:

root:
  lcars:
    - zaliel_sel
    - amanda_webber
    - img:
        crew:
          - zaliel_sel.png
          - amanda_webber.png
        ranks:
          - starfleet_captain.png
          - starfleet_commander.png
    - uss_brahe:                           # This is a page and a namespacee
        - deck_layout
        - gallery

Therefore, when creating a new page, ensure it is in the lcars: namespace. If you need to store assets which other pages use, place them in the lcars:img namespace. Otherwise, store the assets directly under the page you're creating (such as lcars:uss_brahe:deck_layout.
