---+ Collaboration Tips A short list of hints and recommendations that are considered basic knowledge when starting to edit existing topics. #SignAndDate * If a *discussion* is going on: * separate each follow-up with a blank line * add your WikiName and the date at the end. Example:%BR% =-- <nop>%WIKIUSERNAME% - %SERVERTIME{$day $mon $year}%= * OR, by all means, insert your comment where it seems to fit best: * you may want to insert it with a bullet and/or _set it in italics_ so it's clear (always sign and date) * if you'd like to use an initial, use a link with label. Example:%BR% =-- [<nop>[%WIKIUSERNAME%][ZXQ]] - %SERVERTIME{$day $mon $year}%= * A good format for a *new topic* is "dissertation followed by discussion": * start with a brief, factual introduction, followed by double horizontal rules * let the discussion begin * When a discussion dies down and the page becomes static, if you're clear on your course, feel free to *refactor mercilessly*: * fearlessly edit down to capture the key points * reduce the noise without losing the facts or the flavor * if you merge or delete comments, group credit =Contributors:= at the end of the page * _This is how Wiki content matures and grows in value over time._ * For *external site links*, you can type URLs directly into the text - =http://etcete.ra/...= - it'll be clear to anyone where they're headed on click. * Foswiki is intended for world-wide use, and an internationally understood date format like ==01 Sep %SERVERTIME{$year}%== or ==%SERVERTIME{$year}%-09-01== is preferred. It's clearer than the xx/xx/xx format, where a date like 9/1/01 can mean either Jan or Sep, depending on the local conventions of the readers. For months, use the first three letters: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,... * Check the source when you want to find out how something is formatted: click ==[View wiki text]== on the toolbar. * To see earlier versions, click either on ==[History]== (to see all previous versions of a topic) or click on the revision number you would like to see; the formatted revision version will be shown. * To see the source of a previous revision, click ==[More topic actions]==, then at =View previous topic revision=, enter the revision number, mark the =in raw text format= checkbox and click ==[View]==. A bit of HTML experience can't hurt, but you'll soon see with [[TopicMarkupLanguage][TML]] how far that is from necessary. __Related Topics:__ UserDocumentationCategory
