Contribution Guide

Welcome to the contributing page. Here are some additional details, as well as tips and tricks for contributing to the wiki/Bookstack. It will also outline any specific processes we have developed to ensure contributions are clear and consistent. Consider this the contribution guide for the wiki.

This does not mean that you cannot contribute without following these guidelines, in fact we encourage contributions no matter how big or small, in whatever capacity you are able to. This guide is for those who wish to contribute significantly and are dedicated to the maintenance and upkeep of the wiki.

That being said, there is no wrong way to contribute to the wiki, keep that in mind and have fun!

Creating Pages

Creating new pages is fun and easy! Simply find a relevant page, and edit it to add a link to a new page. Hit save and click on that new page link to begin editing!

If it is an entirely new topic you can also search the name of the page and click create a new page from there. This does have drawbacks however, in that creating pages without links makes it hard to find, and therefore hard to contribute to. The more eyes on a page, the better and more accurate the pages become. Because of this it is highly encouraged to start by linking from other pages.

When you create a new page you don't need to worry about all the information right away, the most important step is creating and linking. That way others can find it and add their own information to round out the page, or even add things you did not know about or had forgotten.
