Hi, my main Profile is over at WikiSocial.
Editing policies
This is just my personal views on editing this wiki. you don't have to follow any of this but If I do something that seems odd this might explain why. If you strongly disagree with something here let me know on my talk page.
This wikis purpose
- help programmers that program in multiple languages.
- Often the same concept is named something different in another language.
- languages often have different approaches to problems.
- be a place programmers can store their boilerplate code
Articles
- I hate seeing pages covered in red links. On a small wiki we need to prioritise what pages are being created. So please think before adding links. If only one page is going to link to it or you don't see yourself creating the article in a week then don't create it. also be careful when suggesting buzzwords or complicated jargon as articles as they are less likely to get linked to.
- instead of making these one-off links try and explain the term in the article.
- However we do need suggestions for new articles to come from somewhere, so some links are good. just make sure to include enough information that we know what the context is.
- please use titles to disambiguate topics relevant to only one language. e.g an article on Strings in Java should be called Java/String or java.lang.String not String
- I like articles that group concepts together. This helps them all get edited and the best sections can get turned into articles. These articles tend to be high quality rather than just stubs.
- I try not to have a knee-jerk reaction to things that are wrong (spelling mistakes for instance) I have more important things to take care of and it encourages others to get involved (by fixing it). Instantly changing someones work doesn't encourage them to contribute either.
Notes
this is for me to collect resources ideas etc that are NOT in articles, feel free to anything here into articles (saves me from doing it) just make sure that it's been removed from here afterwards.
