== Contributing to the Mercurial Wiki ==

You should be aware that your IP address is logged and publicly viewable when you edit a page (even if you are logged in).

If you edit a page and decide to abandon your edit, please click the "cancel" button above the edit window. This will clear out the edit warning lock others will get while you edit a page. To see the history of all edits made to a page, click on the "info" link on the top.

=== Some first help on wiki editing ===

Basic help about editing the wiki is shown below the edit window when you edit any page. The most important wiki editing help pages are [:HelpOnEditing] and [:SyntaxReference].

Links to other wiki pages can be created like this:

{{{
[:ChangeSet:this is a link to the page ChangeSet]
}}}

which looks like this: [:ChangeSet:this is a link to the page ChangeSet]. You can omit the link text:

{{{
[:ChangeSet]
}}}

which makes the link look like this: [:ChangeSet] (the link text is the page name if it is omitted).

So the syntax is:

{{{
[:PageName:text to show for link]
}}}

Words in camel case (like this: {{{CamelCase}}}) are linked too without using the {{{[..]}}}. If you don't want a camel cased word to be linked put a {{{!}}} in front of it.

The easiest way to create a new page is to first insert a link to that new page on an existing page, then click the link and you will get a list of templates for new pages.

Note: as a convention, we don't use spaces in page names on this wiki.

To search for a page, go to [:FindPage]. You can also start a new page by entering the name of the new page in the "Go To Page" input field on the bottom of !FindPage.

Test edits can be made in the [:WikiSandBox].

=== Translating pages ===
If you create translations, please add the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes iso-639-1 language code] on top of the page (see [:HelpOnLanguages]). For example, on a page written in Italian add
{{{
#language it
}}}
on the first line of the wiki text of the page ([http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/TutorialEffettuareMerge?action=diff&rev2=7&rev1=6 example]).
Franchesca is the name I love to be called with nevertheless I never actually liked which name. My husband doesn't like it the way I do nevertheless what I love doing is to read books nevertheless I'm thinking about beginning something fresh. For a when I've been inside Kansas. Interviewing is where my primary income originates from however, soon I'll be about my own. Check out my site here: http://Camvidgirls.com/
