Contributing to the Orchard Documentation Wiki

This page contains guidelines and help on how to contribute to the documentation in this wiki. This website is free for all members of the University of Oxford to edit, and contributing is easy. You need an Oxford Single Sign-On account for the website. It is recommended that you read through this guide before contributing.

When should you contribute?
Whenever you see something that could be improved or updated! Also, WikiToDo contains details of things that need doing and there is a list of wanted pages.

Style guide

Only use "subfolder"-style page names to indicate security restrictions. For example, all pages restricted to ITSS staff are named /ITSS/<topic>.

To group related pages use a category. This can then be used to create a search page collecting these pages.
