  • Adding new content to wiki

@Slacor It seems there's no option to edit old posts? 🙁
So instead of updating, I will need to post them again (and redo all the formatting)? I wonder, maybe there's some workaround?

Moved from https://ledstrain.org/d/1404-eyestrain-triggers

How old is the post? I believe it's set to at least a couple weeks,
If you looking to have a lot of mostly static information that may be slowly updated over time I would recommend the wiki. The information in these posts above look like they would be good content for it

    Slacor Yep, 15 days ago. If you scroll through this thread, I've made lists with known problems and solutions and the idea was that I would be updating them - but I can overwhelm the wiki with this info, there's a lot.
    You can see here how the wiki could look like and I am pretty sure there will be more.
    Yep, these posts also were created to be a basis for the wiki.

      Slacor As I am new to wiki editing, could you please explain: do you mean a specific page under the links section or a specific paragraph on the links page?
      I just created a test, you meant that page?


        Then fill out the content here:

        I'm still trying to figure out a proper way of doing this, but for right now, click on New Useful Links, that will create a new page, and you can fill out that page as much as you want for that content.

        With some discussion, it might be moved around later

          Moved this to its own thread but let me know if you have any questions about this. I'm not 100% sure what needs to be told so feel to ask

            Ooops, didn't notice and replied there

            Slacor I checked the result and got an answer to my first question. Any advice on how to make formatting look good? 😀

              Mrak0020 I am not sure where is the correct version of markdown. Rich text in the editor on the right shows a very different page compared to the preview window on the left. For now I formatted pages based on the editor.
              I am not sure it should go under the links section.
              Other sections that I wrote here are most definitely not for the links section.
              Maybe we will work with @logixoul on wiki filling and will figure out where to place those pages or that info in the process.

              You can see the markdown support here

              Could you explain making the formatting look good?
              It's styled with CSS, so to look different that would have to be adjusted

              There's no reason to put it under links beyond it's easily accessible right now with the CMS (at wiki.ledstrain.org/constribute)
              It might be worth discussing a tree structure to the wiki if enough people would like to put in some feedback.

                  Slacor Could you explain making the formatting look good?

                  I meant that formatting looks ok in a rich text editor (left) and horrible in preview and then in actual Wiki, as it turned out.

                  On the left, there is a readable text, on the right all the links unexplainedly turned into a long single paragraph. I do not know how to fix it.
                  Thank you for markdown links, I suppose they can answer this question.

                  About the second and third question: what I meant is that I wrote in that thread some brief info about binocular vision with a few links and a simple PWM guide, but I doubt that I should place them under the links section in Wiki.

                    Yes, thank you, found what I needed in the links you gave and created two pull requests (or I hope so).

                    Slacor I hoped that was the end but turned out it was not. Now formatting looks good in preview on contribute page, looks good on GitHub preview, but the resulting formatting in wiki hasn't changed at all 😀

                    And now I definitely do not know how to fix it, as both previews show text correctly.
                    It seems that contributing to wiki requires some skills of a front end developer 🙂

                      I went in and formatted it to maybe serve as an example

                      There is a quirk that may be causing the trouble.
                      Two spaces after the end of a line will enforce a newline

                      Two examples (highlight to see the difference)

                      This is one
line
                      This is two  
lines

                        Slacor There is an idea to create a new directory, something like Known Problems, make Common Solutions for Newcomers the main page there, and move problem lists there as subpages. Maybe also move there vision info, as it has known vision problems. What do you think about it?

                          Common Solutions for Newcomers the main page there

                          For clarification, you mean /known-problems would have the content of the current "Common Solutions for Newcomers", and subpages would be the problem lists?

                          Eg, /common_solutions/problems_monitors_laptops
