name-patch
Distribution specific articles
The majority of articles in this wiki should general enough to apply to all common distributions. Nontheless some article there also exists some articles that describe distribution specific characteristics. To avoid a collision with with other articles, their name should start with the name of the distribution in upper case letters. E.g.
DISTRIBUTION article name
Structure
General
Plugins
An article about a plugin has to include the following minimal structure. There also exist a template for this. To use it just place {{subst:Article (plugin)}} in the otherwise empty article, save it and edit again.
==Description==
[[Image:plugin-name.jpg|thumb|Description]]
If the link to the UPLOADED image is placed in the above form before
the text, it will be shown right aligned besides the text. This looks
nice and is space saving.

Formatting rules/style guide
Version numbers
Nearly every program archive has a version number in it's name. Since in most cases several versions of a program are possible, a placeholder for the version number should be used.
mediawiki-<VERSION>.tar.gz
This placeholder seems to be the most general possible.
Directories
Directory names in the text should be highlighted with italics, like /usr/local/bin. This should improve readability.
[...] '''/usr/local/bin''' [...]
Images
Naming schemes
General
A screenshot or image makes a text look more nicely and is a good visible discription. Images should alway be uplouded. Only uplouded images ensure accessability and resizeability. Also the copyright issue is a reason againt external linking.
Screenshots of programs should be named like the program and possibly a description in brackets like
programname(screen name).jpg
where screen name can be setup, main,...
For images of hardware and other objects, one should choose a good descriptive name, e.g. for DVB cards include the revision number.
Plugins
Every plugin should have one or more screenshots. For plugins the same naming rules as above apply.
name-plugin.jpg name-plugin(screen name).jpg
where screen name can be setup, main,...
Patches
If a patch visually changes the behaviour of VDR, a screenshot would be nice, too. For patches the same naming rules as above apply.
name-patch.jpg name-patch(screen name).jpg
where screen name can be setup, main,...
Format
General
For photographs and screenshots, the JPEG format fits best. For electronic circuits the PNG format is better.
A resolution of 800x600 for program screenshot and other images should be enough. 768x576 for shots of TV screen. Please optimize the file size of the image before uploading it. HOWTOS for this can be found in the internet for varies programs.
To make screenshots of VDR and his Plugins, use
svdrpsend.pl grab "/video/"$(date --iso-8601=seconds)".jpg" jpeg 50
Categories
Categories are a practical way give the article masses a structure. But one should think twice, wether a new category is necessary or not.
One can create categories and sub-categories and one or more of them could be assigned to an article. Es gibt dabei nicht nur die Möglichkeit einen Artikel einer Kategorie zuzuordnen man kann ihn auch mehreren Kategorien und/oder Unter-Kategorien zuordnen.
This is only a suggestion at the moment some don't even exist!
