Une rapide introduction au royaume du Wiki

Ce site est un site web Wiki Wiki (qui signifie en langue Hawaïenne «vite vite»). Cela signifie que c'est un moteur qui permet de mettre plus facilement les contenus que vous voulez dans une page, et de créer plus facilement de nouvelles pages ; même si vous ne savez pas encore ce que vous allez mettre dedans.

Les administrateurs choisissent un Wiki parce qu'ils (les Wikis, pas les administrateurs :-)) sont réellement utiles pour la documentation collaborative ; il est plus facile pour des personnes non organisées de fournir de l'information utile, et à des éditeurs non organisés de l'éditer.

Depuis qu'il garde un historique des pages, il est si facile de réparer les graffitis qu'il est presque inutile de détruire un article. (Suggestion)

Les deux seules choses qui posent problèmes à quelques personnes dans les Wikis sont les balises de syntaxe (qui ne sont pas HTML à dessein) et peuvent accessoirement être une Chose Obscure, et les liens internes qui sont créés en utilisant [[crochets]].

Et enfin, avant que l'on vous dise comment éditer, laissez-nous vous encourager à créer un compte si vous êtes sur le point de faire une quantité appréciable d'éditions ou de contributions ; cela facilitera votre vie (et les nôtres ;-)).

Ajout de pages

Se référer, svp, à la section d'aide pour de l'information sur la création de pages, l'édition de pages existantes, quelles sont les catégories présentes sur ce site.

Wiki writing syntax

Anyway, the one 'graf explanation of WikiWriting is:

Just write. Empty lines force paragraph breaks, <br> forces a mid-line break (and indeed, most HTML works), and you can do all the stuff you'd do in HTML markup, but with slightly different (read: easier) syntax. [[Words or phrases]] in square brackets automatically become intra-Wiki links — if the page doesn't exist yet, readers will see its link displayed in red instead of blue, and you can either write the new page yourself, by clicking through to it after you save, or you can just leave it as a hint for others to follow. If you do preview the page, don't forget to save it before clicking through to create subsidiary pages.

Finally, please fill in the 'Summary' with a half-sentence description of what you changed. The summaries are displayed in the Recent Changes page listing, and make it a lot easier to figure out what's going on and why. Think of them as CVS comments.

It's really pretty much that simple. Once you find something you want to do (like offsite links or inline images) that isn't explained here, you can go check out Help:Contents.

And, finally, remember: anyone can come along and edit what you write... and that's the point. So it's important to keep this frame of mind when you're writing. If you hate editors, writing for a Wiki will probably drive you batty.


How to work with this wiki

This topic is actually a little in flux, as you might expect, since we're pretty new here at working with and leveraging the special features that Mediawiki provides (which are slightly different than the special features which the old MoinMoin wiki provided).

Keep an eye on the Discussion pages for the pages you work on; use your Watchlist (and set the "automatically add pages I edit to my Watchlist" setting in your preferences; and keep an eye on the Community Portal; as we figure out the best way to do things, that's where we will put the meta-Q&A.

In general, when you're starting to think about graduating from small changes to large ones (and creating entire new pages or categories): read before you write. It's even easier to steal formatting and layout on a wiki than it is in traditional HTML, so look for pages that are well laid out, and copy them, replacing their text with your own. Look at active talk pages for examples of how to thread conversations in MW's admittedly slightly weak Talk: system (it's nice because it keeps conversations near what they talk about, at the expense of making you work a tiny bit harder).

Oh, and make sure to sign things you post on talk pages with --~~~~, so everyone can follow the conversations.

Finally, keep an eye on Special:Recentchanges — it's a good bookmark page if you want to keep an eye on the wiki from either side — and if you change things, please write a summary to keep Recent Changes useful.

So Be Bold, but be kind...

And use links to provide a source of original content like so 33Link Hosting

And have fun; that's most of the point. :-)
