Introduction

Good communication with other wiki contributors is essential to making a good resource. Some guidelines:

General Communication

• IRC - #ubuntu-doc on irc.freenode.net

• Mailing lists - ubuntu-doc

• Comments - When saving your edits, always leave a comment so others can easily see what you did.

• Personal wiki home page - Make sure that you can be contacted by creating a home page on the main Ubuntu wiki or leaving your contact details on your Launchpad homepage.

Page Categories and Linking

• Review - Put pages into CategoryCleanup when they have not been reviewed, and discuss your contributions on the docteam mailing list. If you let us know about it, it can be reviewed more quickly and taken out of CategoryCleanup.

• Do not add a link to an unreviewed page on the wiki's index pages (eg. UserDocumentation or Multimedia) until the page has been reviewed and is not marked with CategoryCleanup.

• Tag

Discussing and Subscribing to Pages

• Subscribe to the pages you have contributed to. To do this, click on the Subscribe link of the page you wish to subscribe to.

• Use PageDiscussion pages - Pages can be discussed using a discussion sub-page. For an example, see this page's /PageDiscussion page.

• Subscribe to the relevant PageDiscussion pages.
