Subject: [osol-mktg] Wikipedia references to OpenSolaris projects
From: Eric Boutilier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A while back I was reading a Wikipedia entry and decided to try making a
change. The entry I was reading was for QEMU, and what I did (as you could
probably guess) was simply add a reference to the QEMU OpenSolaris project
page. It's really easy. You can even do it without logging in or
registering. Since then, I've also done ones for Xfce and GCCfss. Not that
I have a huge affinity for QEMU, Xfce, or GCC, but because I happened to be
reading the Wikipedia pages for them and figured, what the heck, I've got a
few minutes.
So in case anyone is interested, I'm thinking there are tons of topics on
Wikipedia lacking a reference to their corresponding OpenSolaris page.
Basically all you do is click `Edit', add the link to the "External Links"
bullet list, and save your change.
Here's a step-by-step:
1. Go to the pages you're interested in, scroll down to the `External
Links' sub-header and click the `Edit' link directly to the right.
2. You'll see an edit window containing a simple bullet list. This text
will be at the top:
== External links ==
3. Go to the bottom of the list and insert your item (using Wikipedia syntax
of course):
* [<URL> <Link Text>]
For example:
* [http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/xfce Xfce on OpenSolaris community
project]
4. Review your edit by clicking the `Show Preview' button; then Click `Save
Page'
5. You'll see an image showing distorted text (spam prevention). Type the
word shown and click `Save Page' again.
