How to contribute to VdfWiki

Have a look at Getting started with wiki if you are unfamiliar with using wikis.

Please make sure to follow the VdfWiki guidelines when posting content.

Check out wanted pages for topics that urgently need contributions. Also look for short pages which may be stubs awaiting enlargement.

Editing tips:

  • Make use of the "Show preview" button to check how your work will look before saving it, rather than saving the same page again and again
  • For minor corrections (spelling, punctuation, slight rewording) check the "This is a minor edit" box
  • While using the "Preview", check your links using Right-Click => "Open (link) in a New Window (Tab)"

Keeping up to date

Check in every now and then to vdfwiki.com and click on "Recent changes". This will give you a list of what is updated. Once you have settled on what pages interests you , then you can add them to "my watchlist".
