@documentation-team: drastic changes?
I am a member!
Hello,
I am editing the wiki https://trisquel.info/en/wiki for some time.
I saw there were some drastic changes on the wiki in the past months.
For example:
https://trisquel.info/en/node/1648/revisions/48125/view turned into https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/system-requirements - here some content is missing now.
Another example:
[https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installation-guide Installation Guide] (alternative index) - is now missing on https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/all-manuals
I also like to edit the wiki but I would feel bad if I delete other peoples work, if the content is correct. Otherwise correcting the content is a much better option, I think.
I would tend to discuss such drastic changes on the forum, especially if deleting content, and like to encourage these editors to do so, too.
regards, knife

Hi Cuchillo, I was the one who removed the installation guide. It's still available in the Spanish documentation, but in Spanish. If you'd like it so much, I'll simply translate it for you. Also, that installation guide is now where it should be at the link https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/setup.
It's about time we updated the Trisquel website, since HTML4 has nothing to do with HTML5.

Hola Cuchillo, he sido yo quien hizo eliminó la guía de instalación, en la documentación en español aún está disponible, pero en español. Si tanto la desea simplemente la traduciré para usted, además ahora esa guía de instalación está donde debe estar en el enlace https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/setup.
Ya va siendo hora de actualizar el sitio web de trisquel, puesto que html4 no tiene nada que ver con html5
There happens to be a manual page for manuals, with a notice board that says "Feel free to leave messages here for fellow contributors":
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/manuals
Another way to coordinate while editing is to leave comments on the edited page itself. They will be visible to any other user editing the same page without cluttering the rendered contents.
I am a translator!

I saw that page before but I can't remember how I got there. Where is the link to it?
How about adding a link to that page from https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/documentation, like "Contributing to Trisquel documentation"?
The link is currently to be found in the "All Manuals" page, chapter XII "Contributors", under "Writers and translators":
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/all-manuals
One may argue it is indeed a bit hidden down that long table of contents.

That would definitely make the Manuals manual more visibly visible. We will probably need to throw a dice to determine who is going to edit the venerable Documentation main page, as I fear a Condorcet method may fail to deliver here. Anyway, hereunder lies my proposal, pending approval:
"Helping with the documentation
Something missing or needing revision? See the manual page on how to improve the documentation and help other users enjoy Trisquel one step further."
I didn't know how to add a page to the "All manuals" documentation, so I clicked add child page at the bottom and it helped make the page [https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/users-groups-owners-and-attributes Users, Groups, Owners and Attributes]. If someone could fix the bottom menu that would be great.
Done.
