Hi,<br>
<br>
Here's how I do it (in more detail than you probably care about).
Obviously you'll need to substitute in your wiki username instead of
mine.<br>
<br>
1. Go to my user page and open edit mode
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Fade">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Fade</a>)<br>
2. Make a link to a new page with the appropriate address and save
it. e.g. [[User:Fade/Doc:2.6/Manual/Interface/Window_types|Window
types]] to correspond with
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Interface/Window_types">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Interface/Window_types</a><br>
3. The new link will display in red as there's nothing in the new
page yet (see my user page for an example)<br>
4. Click the red link to open up edit mode for the new page<br>
5. In a new browser tab, go to the wiki page I want to fix and open
the edit mode.<br>
6. Copy and paste everything from the wiki page to the corresponding
version on my user page and save my user page version.<br>
7. Add a WIP fix message to the wiki page that links to my fix page
(so that people know someone is working on it) and save it.<br>
8. Go to my fix page and edit it.<br>
9. When I'm finished, I take the WIP message off the wiki page<br>
<br>
There's plenty of small pages currently listed on the review table
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Wiki_Tasks/Review_2.6_Manual">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Wiki_Tasks/Review_2.6_Manual</a>)
that really only need images and minor corrections which might be a
good place to start learning.<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Transform_Control/Pivot_Point/Bounding_Box_Center">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Transform_Control/Pivot_Point/Bounding_Box_Center</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Transform_Control/Pivot_Point/Individual_Origins">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Transform_Control/Pivot_Point/Individual_Origins</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modifiers/Generate/Build">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modifiers/Generate/Build</a><br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Fade<br>

Hello.<br>
<br>
I would like to contribute to the Blender wiki manual, mainly by
creating images and diagrams for pages that need them. (as well as
adding additional information to pages that require it).<br>
However I am new to wiki editing and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Could someone explain the editing process and any other required
information? I've read the Writer Guide, but I don't understand
all of it (<code>"</code>Copy the wikitext from <code>[[Doc:2.6/Manual/Foo]]</code>
in <code></code><code>[[User:YourNick/Doc:2.6/Manual/Foo]]"....
-- etc). Do I need to go through the approval process for
adding images?</code><br>
