Community:Information

Welcome to our community information page.
This is the location to discuss all kinds of editor related information.

==About the documentation project==
We decided to open the documentation process to our community. To us this is a natural consequence from all the positive experience we made during the last years.

We know,
* writing good documentation is essential for both our users & developers
* constant feedback helps improving so please feel free and discuss our articles or file requests for new ones
* some of you have very profound knowledge of BaseX and its infrastructure. You are very welcome to contribute Articles & Edits.

== Where to start ==
If you have not signed up yet: this is the moment to [[Special:UserLogin|create your account]]. 

You may now start by either creating articles or choosing from a list of pages that might need some maintenance:
*[[Special:WantedPages|Most wanted articles]] 
* [[Special:ShortPages|List of short articles]]
*[[Special:DeadendPages| List of pages that have no outgoing links]]

===Wanted Articles===
You may also add links to Topics you would like to see in our documentation:

Surround a word with double brackets:<br />
<nowiki>[[Wanted Topic]]</nowiki> and that word will be highlighted in red.

===Guidelines for new Articles ===

For now we only have few guidelines we used when creating new articles. Feel free to extend or change this list.

;Don't be afraid
:We happily accept your contributions.

;Article Title
:Please make sure article titles are upper-case and singular nouns wherever possible.

;Categories
