Contributing to the OpenMPT wiki

Contributing to this wiki couldn't be easier:

1. Before you can edit, you have to register
2. Once logged in, click "Edit this Page" at the top left to modify any page. The basic wiki syntax is visible to the right of the edit window.
3. You can play with the syntax in the Sandbox
4. Pick a section from the manual index in the left-hand menu, and get busy.
5. To create a new page, simply create a link to a non-exiting page, then click on that link, add some content and save.

So don't hesitate to correct, enhance or add anything you like (including these help pages which aren't strictly a part of the OpenMPT manual).

Basic guidelines

When contributing to the manual, please keep these guidelines in mind:

• Avoid opinion pieces: keep the information factual and not overly emotional
• If you don't have time to complete an article, use the keyword "TODO:" followed by an explanation
• If you are bored, search this wiki for "TODO" and complete anything you can!
• The purpose of this wiki is documentation, so avoid using it for bug reports or feature requests. If you post those on the forum you're much more likely to get a response.
• Important: If you paste any OpenMPT source code in the wiki (probably in the developer section), state clearly that it is GPL. The rest of the wiki is under a much more open Creative Commons licence.
• TODO: Add more guidelines...
