Description:
This page documents the editing guidelines for the Funtoo Wiki.


Thanks for your interest in contributing to the the Funtoo wiki!

Before we get started, it's a good idea to review what kinds of changes to the wiki we're looking for, and what kind of changes we're not looking for.

Most of the time it's good to document stuff. But because we want Funtoo Linux to be as seamless an experience as possible, sometimes the best approach is to use IRC or forums for support, or file a bug on our bug tracker. See the table below:

Type of ChangeOkay?
Grammar/spelling fixesYes
New wiki contentYes
New package informationYes
Adding to existing articleYes
Adding missing/incomplete informationYes
Making correctionsYes
Adding workarounds to problems experienced, esp. install issuesMaybe not - try forums or IRC first, and possibly open bug first on bug tracker.

The basic concept is this -- some complications should simply be fixed in Funtoo rather than documenting ugly workarounds for problems. So be aware of types of issues that may fall into this category and take appropriate action such as [filing a bug].
