Contribute to Quick Docs

So, this is kind of a seed project. Your help wanted!

There is a How To category on the wiki. Many of those documents are ripe for conversion. are also likely to be useful starting points — or, also, frequent Fedora questions on Stack Exchange.

Or, of course, if there’s something you care about which you can help explain, you can create a new document from scratch.

1. Pick a document to update. You can find documents needing updates in the file. They are on the commented-out lines (those that start with a //FIXME).

3. Uncomment the file in remove the FIXME from the xref..

4. Build a local preview to ensure your changes look the way you intended: Make sure you either have Podman or Docker installed, and run ./build.sh && ./preview.sh. Follow instructions printed on the command line.

Usually, wikis do not allow redirects to external sites, because the potential for abuse is very high. We’ve developed a plugin for the Fedora Wiki which allows redirects to only pages on this site, . To create such a link, use the macro by putting something like this at the top of the wiki page you are obsoleting:

Of course, you will want to replace that specific URL with the one for your new target page. The URL can’t be something arbitrary — it must begin with [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/).

Once the redirect is in place, visitors to that wiki page will be instantly whisked (well, redirected, with the code 301 Moved Permanently) to the docs site. If you need to edit such a page to correct the URL, or to remove the redirect completely, use a form like: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Project_Leader&action=edit

Note that there is no validation that the target exists or is correct — please double-check that any redirects you create work properly before moving on.
