Wiki Week

Things to do

During wiki week we will work together on these topics:

• Cleaning up Wiki week active page list
• Marking old pages as needing updates
• Review pages that contain larger issues: Category:WW issues

This page will contain links to lists of pages that need to be checked or fixed.

Tips

Reminder: Code Formatting

A guideline to people writing code examples on the wiki.

For example .pro files need to have

 <code lang="make">

defined in their code block.

• Coordination and discussion take place on this page and on the forum.

Suggestions

Mobile portal

It seems to me that we need to give more structure to Portal:Mobile, and to update and augment the content. The goal is to categorise entries based on the use case (installation, development best practices, how-to's etc.). We started some work by structuring the Android section already, which could be taken as a blueprint. This should be completed, and the same should be done for the rest of the actively development platforms, especially iOS and Windows RT. Currently edits are being done at least by Marco_Piccolino (me) and Benlau. Anybody else who is willing to join the mobile effort is very welcome. Just join the forum discussion! For realtime discussions, you can find us daily on the QtMob Slack chat. --Marco_Piccolino (talk) 14:49, 11 March 2016 (CET)

QtQuick FAQ

Currently I don't find any FAQ for QtQuick/QML is available on Wiki yet. I would suggest to add this section.

Outdated Articles?

• Best Practices for Designing Mobile UI - Qt Wiki -- Benlau (talk)
  • You can tag outdated articles with Template:Outdated. This will add the page to Category:Outdated_pages. We are archiving, not deleting, pages that were once useful to the public. --JKSH (talk) 05:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

The First Wiki Week was 18-22.5.2015

Localization improvement: Dedicated wiki for each language

The organization of articles in languages others then English is pretty bad. I suggest to do it like Wikipedia and have subdomains with dedicated mediawikis for all supported languages and create links between articles in different language versions. I've put together a somewhat lengthy explanation of what is going wrong with the current localization scheme and why I think this is the way to go to achieve the best user experience; it can be found on the forum: [1] --Wieland (talk) 20:30, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Removing pages

Symbian is dead. Shall we remove Symbian related pages? I would say yes. But what about Qt3? There is at least one project I know (the unholy KDE3 fork Trinity) that still uses Qt3, although they are "maintaining" their own Qt3 fork. Shall Qt3 related pages be removed, too? Shall we send an e-mail to the Trinity guy(s)? --Wieland (talk) 23:28, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I vote for archiving, not deletion. --JKSH (talk) 14:44, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Clear distinction between Qt versions

I think there should be a clear, big fat warning on top of every article that specifically targets Qt4. --Wieland (talk) 23:29, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. Use Template:Outdated. --JKSH (talk) 14:44, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

List of needed articles

Some questions pop up on the forums again and again. I think it would be of great value if we could identify those questions and make a list of articles that need to be written. --Wieland (talk) 23:43, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
