The Wiki
How to contribute to the thing you're currently reading (please do)!
Summary
This page gives you some intel on how the wiki works and why you should start contributing.
To skip the pep talk, you can jump directly to How to edit or sign up here (github/Google account required)
Why you should edit the wiki
If you're already convinced, you can skip straight ahead to How to edit or Requesting reviews
Wikis are the most open source thing since the invention of democracy, because everyone can edit them (that includes you!). They gather and share knowledge, facilitating all kinds of beautiful change — like the library of Alexandria before it was DDOSed by fire.
In terms of our wiki, that means:
Everyone can learn how to make mods for Cyberpunk 2077 You don't know shit about Netrunning? Doesn't matter, here's how you can make a t-shirt!
We don't have to research stuff all over Here's what we have about glowing materials. Want more than that? Here's where you can start digging...
Unfortunately, most people don't edit the wiki.
Of course there are plenty of good reasons, so let's go over them one by one (open the box)
You will never be bullied for sharing knowledge or skills on this wiki. If you ever feel as if you are, please get in touch with the mods on the Wolvenkit Discord, and we'll clear up the misunderstanding — because communication is hard and everyone here has the same goals.
How to edit
Before you can edit, you need to sign up to Gitbook (no way around it). It's integrated with github, so you can use that or your google log-in.
As of today (March 2024), I've never received a single spam mail from them.
Change requests
You can't edit without a change request (which is a snapshot of the wiki as-it-is that you can fuck around with to your heart's content).
Until you complete the steps under Requesting reviews and a wiki admin merges your changes, nothing of what you do will go live, so you can safely break everything.
Your edits will be saved in your change request, so that you (or somebody else) can resume editing later. See
Creating a new change request
When creating a new change request, please give it a title immediately (see the screenshot under Browsing existing change requests as for why)
You can create one by clicking the Edit button in the upper right corner:
If you want to know more, you can check gitbook's official documentation for this, or read the TL;DR below:
Browsing existing change requests
In the top left of your
Clicking on "Change Requests" to the left opens a side bar panel where you can browse existing change requests:
Creating new change requests
Click the "Edit" button to create a new change request:
Requesting reviews
When you're done editing, you can request a review. The button is on the topright where the Edit button used to be:
... and that's it. After requesting a review, you don't have to do anything — your MR either gets merged directly, or the reviewer may change some things around (usually scatter some links), or they'll get back on you to clear things up.
