'''For your first edit''', you probably want to fix something wrong or add something that is missing in an article instead of writing a complete article from scratch. If you feel bold though, you can also go by by
 +
copying & pasting from another article (particularly infoboxes, or those obscure tables) and modifying as necessary. Don't feel ashamed, we all started that way.
  
 
===Conventions===
 
===Conventions===
 +
====Capitalisation====
 +
Use singular (when possible) phrase style titles for page titles and headings, not titles with each word capitalised. So it's ''Buckling springs'', not ''Buckling Springs'', and ''Keyboards with Cherry switches'', not ''Keyboards with Cherry Switches'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref name="WPnocaps" />
 +
 +
====Categorisation====
 +
Don't put articles in categories which are a parent or grandparent of the deepest category the article is part of. So ''Cherry MX Blue'' is in category ''Cherry MX'', which is in category ''Cherry switches''. But ''Cherry MX Blue'' shouldn't be in ''Cherry switches''.<ref name="Cat-nesting" /> In some cases a 'List of all ...' category can be made to which all deepest children can be added.
 +
 +
====Specific terms====
 +
* Use ''Alps'', not ''ALPS''.<ref name="Alps" />
 +
* Use ''keycap'', not ''key cap'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref name="WPkeycap" />
 +
* Use ''Space-cadet keyboard'', not ''Space Cadet keyboard'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref name="WPcadet" />

So it's ''Buckling spring'' not ''Buckling Springs'', and ''Keyboards with Cherry switches'', not ''Keyboards with Cherry Switches'' (same as Wikipedia<ref>[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article_titles#Article_title_format|Article title format on Wikipedia]]</ref>).

====Using references====

# Don't put articles in categories which are a parent or grandparent of the deepest category the article is part of. So ''Cherry MX Blue'' is in category ''Cherry MX'', which is in category ''Cherry switches''. But ''Cherry MX Blue'' shouldn't be in ''Cherry switches''.<ref>Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/deskthority-related-f17/the-wiki-thread-t70-390.html#p41541 Original proposal for choosing among diffusing or non-diffusing subcategories]</ref>. In some cases a 'List of all ...' category can be made to which all deepest children can be added.
+
* For external references, be sure to post the exact article title instead of paraphrasing it, otherwise it may be very difficult to find a replacement later on if the link becomes dead.
−
# Use ''Alps'', not ''ALPS''.<ref>Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/deskthority-related-f17/the-wiki-thread-t70-120.html#p3789 ALPS is not an acronym and should be written Alps]</ref>
+
 
−
# Use ''keycap'', not ''key cap'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref>[[Wikipedia:Keycap|Keycap on Wikipedia]]</ref>.
+
* Use named references instead of inlined, ie. define your references like this:
−
# Use ''Space-cadet keyboard'', not ''Space Cadet keyboard'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref>[[Wikipedia:Space-cadet keyboard|The Space-cadet keyboard on Wikipedia]]</ref>.
+
<pre><ref name="my_refname">my source here</ref></pre>
−
# For external references other than the DT forum, be sure to post the exact article name instead of paraphrasing it, otherwise it may be very difficult to find a replacement later on if the link becomes dead. Also, place the references section after the "See also" section, if any, but before the "External links" section. This is the same style used by [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#Order_of_article_elements|Wikipedia]].
+
Then invoke your reference with
 +
<pre><ref name="my_refname" /></pre>
 +
 
 +
as many times as you need along the article. This way,
 +
 
 +
# the article will be readable by editors no matter how many references are used,
 +
# you can reuse a reference multiple times in the article without having to define it again, and
 +
# if references ever need to be changed, they will be easy to find.
 +
 
 +
Don't forget to place the definitions together in a '''References''' section like this:
 +
<pre>==References==
 +
<references>
 +
<ref name="ref_name1">my source here</ref>
 +
<ref name="ref_name2">my other source here</ref>
 +
...
 +
</references></pre>
 +
 
 +
* Place the References section '''after''' the "See also" section, if any, but '''before''' the "External links" section, if one exists. This is the same style used by [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#Order_of_article_elements|Wikipedia]].
 +
 
 +
* See [[Template:Sq]] for a way to escape square brackets <code>[]</code> which would otherwise break your references.
 +
 
 +
====Opinions====
 +
As you peruse the wiki you may find the odd personal opinion here and there about something. Please avoid adding any more. Opinions have no place in a wiki that is meant to be informative and neutral, so we should be removing that kind of stuff, not adding to it. Let's keep it neutral.
  
 
See the [http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=70 forum wiki topic] for more.

 +
===Code of conduct===
 +
* Vandalism will be punished. Severely. (See [[Special:BlockList|the block list]])
 +
* No self-advertising. No advertising of any kind, really.
 +
* No edit wars! Discuss if necessary e.g. using the Talk page of the article in question (preferred, that's the Wikipedia style too), the Talk page of the editor who you disagree with (second best), or posting to the wiki subforum in DT. In either case, do so in a civil manner.

Editing the wiki

Guides

If you are new to MediaWiki, you want to read this:

For your first edit, you probably want to fix something wrong or add something that is missing in an article instead of writing a complete article from scratch. If you feel bold though, you can also go by by copying & pasting from another article (particularly infoboxes, or those obscure tables) and modifying as necessary. Don't feel ashamed, we all started that way.

Conventions

Capitalisation

Use singular (when possible) phrase style titles for page titles and headings, not titles with each word capitalised. So it's Buckling springs, not Buckling Springs, and Keyboards with Cherry switches, not Keyboards with Cherry Switches (same as Wikipedia).[1]

Categorisation

Don't put articles in categories which are a parent or grandparent of the deepest category the article is part of. So Cherry MX Blue is in category Cherry MX, which is in category Cherry switches. But Cherry MX Blue shouldn't be in Cherry switches.[2] In some cases a 'List of all ...' category can be made to which all deepest children can be added.

Specific terms

  • Use Alps, not ALPS.[3]
  • Use keycap, not key cap (same as Wikipedia).[4]
  • Use Space-cadet keyboard, not Space Cadet keyboard (same as Wikipedia).[5]

Using references

  • For external references, be sure to post the exact article title instead of paraphrasing it, otherwise it may be very difficult to find a replacement later on if the link becomes dead.
  • Use named references instead of inlined, ie. define your references like this:
<ref name="my_refname">my source here</ref>

Then invoke your reference with 

<ref name="my_refname" />

as many times as you need along the article. This way,

  1. the article will be readable by editors no matter how many references are used,
  2. you can reuse a reference multiple times in the article without having to define it again, and
  3. if references ever need to be changed, they will be easy to find.

Don't forget to place the definitions together in a References section like this: 

==References==
<references>
<ref name="ref_name1">my source here</ref>
<ref name="ref_name2">my other source here</ref>
...
</references>
  • Place the References section after the "See also" section, if any, but before the "External links" section, if one exists. This is the same style used by Wikipedia.
  • See Template:Sq for a way to escape square brackets [] which would otherwise break your references.

Opinions

As you peruse the wiki you may find the odd personal opinion here and there about something. Please avoid adding any more. Opinions have no place in a wiki that is meant to be informative and neutral, so we should be removing that kind of stuff, not adding to it. Let's keep it neutral.

See the forum wiki topic for more.

Code of conduct

  • Vandalism will be punished. Severely. (See the block list)
  • No self-advertising. No advertising of any kind, really.
  • No edit wars! Discuss if necessary e.g. using the Talk page of the article in question (preferred, that's the Wikipedia style too), the Talk page of the editor who you disagree with (second best), or posting to the wiki subforum in DT. In either case, do so in a civil manner.

I'll give blanket permission here for anyone who wants to use my keyboard, key cap, key switch, or any other photos posted by me to this forum for improving a knowledge base, wiki, or what have you. Please provide attribution when you do (and maybe PM me a link to the article).[18]

Source (e.g. URL) and copyright terms should be included in the image description to indicate that image is used with permission and not stolen. Template:Filedesc should be used to caption the image, and it has ready-made fields for source and copyright. This has been the default for some time now, one just needs to fill in the form.

References and external links to pages containing the images should be used instead of uploading the images directly, in cases where permission to use the image has not been obtained.
