Edit Rights

Logged in users have edit rights to almost all pages. Currently, an account can be automatically registered by logging in with Discord.

and Discord only. Sorry for the dependency, but this is an easy way to fight off some spam, and most of us are on Discord anyways.

Copyrights

Creating Pages

Though you are strongly suggested to check this first, TL;DR is, in Dokuwiki, any link <base_url>/what-ever-page is a “valid” wiki page, even if no one has ever created it. By navigating to that link, you will be provided instructions on how to create that page.

However, this is usually NOT the way one should create a page, because a page created this way, on creation, will be only accessible from the sitemap or the exact link, which will not be accessed by most users, effectively creating an “orphaned” page.

Now that every link is “valid”, populated at least by the instructions to create a page represented by the link, the proper way to create a page is simply, in an already existing page, put a link to the to-be-created page, like [[nonexistent|this]] this. Then one can follow the link and proceed to create the page.

Translation

On any page with a sidebar, by selecting a language with the drop-down, you will be navigated to the same page, but in the target language. If the page appears to not exist, that means you are the first translator of that page in that language. Simply create the page following the instructions shown. On creation, your editor will be populated with the English version of the page.

If you cannot find a language in the drop-down, that means the language is not yet enabled. Join the Discord server and express your intent to begin translation into a new language, and admins will set things up.

Misc

You can find the Dokuwiki syntax manual in the sidebar.
