= 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?'' <<BR>> Whenever you see something that could be improved or updated! Also, [[CategoryWikiToDo|WikiToDo]] contains details of things that need doing and there is a [[WantedPages|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. 

== How to use MoinMoin ==

A Wiki is a collaborative site, anyone can contribute and share:
 * Edit any page by pressing '''<<GetText(Edit)>>''' at the top right corner of the page 
 * Create a link to another page with joined capitalized words (like WikiSandBox) or with {{{[[words in brackets]]}}}
 * Search for page titles or text within pages using the search box at the top of any page
 * See HelpForBeginners to get you going, HelpContents for all help pages.

Interesting starting points:
 * RecentChanges: see where people are currently working
 * WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
 * FindPage: find some content, explore the wiki
 * HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax: quick access to wiki markup
 * [[CategoryWikiToDo|WikiToDo]]: a list of pages marked to be unfinished requiring some attention.
