Becoming an Editor
In order to be able to create and edit pages at the Ca3DE Wiki, you have to log-in yourself via the Login button at the bottom of all Ca3DE Wiki pages.
In order to get a username and passwort for the login, follow these steps:
Register yourself at the Ca3DE forum at
http://www.Ca3D-Engine.de/phpBB2
That means that your login data for the forum and the Wiki are in fact
shared, the same login data will work with both the forum and the Wiki. Therefore, if you are already a registered forum user, there is no need to register a second time.
Login to the forum to make sure that your username and password work correctly.
Then, still at the forum, join the usergroup “WikiEditors”. In order to learn how this is done, please have a look at
http://www.ca3d-engine.de/phpBB2/faq.php#31 Carsten will then approve your request (unless he's suspicious on your intentions with the Wiki — spammers beware!).
Once approved, your login data from the forum will also work with the the Wiki login, and you can start editing.
If you're a Wiki beginner - notes for new editors
Editing with the Ca3DE Wiki is very easy, but there are a few concepts to get used to:
Why is all that talk about namespaces so important? Well, links (and thus, pages) cannot easily be renamed later. While it is not impossible, renaming has the tencency to break references from other pages to the renamed document, which in fact can be cumbersome when documents must be re-structured.
