Editing the Wiki

1. Create an account
2. Ask on the #vhs-wiki channel on slack for edit permissions
3. Edit away! Rules of VHS do-ocracy apply - be excellent!

• Look for the edit button on the right side of any page, when logged in - it looks like a pencil!
• Pages that have <!DOCTYPE markdown> at the top are written in commonmark markdown syntax - this is the preferred way to write pages!
• Pages that don't have that at the top, are written in dokuwiki wiki syntax

There are three levels of access for users of the wiki:

• admin - can do everything
• user - can edit every page
• wiki - can edit all the pages in /wiki plus /tools
• newb - view only, new accounts get this level of access automatically

The newb access level exists, because that way you can create your own account - nobody has to make it for you - but we don't have to worry about spambots or malicious randos defacing our site.

The wiki access level is for any member that wants to share info with the rest of the membership. You can edit most pages on the site, but not the more “public facing” pages.

The user access level lets you edit the public face of VHS: the main landing page, the membership page, etc. There's a bit higher bar - you need to have a reason you want to change those pages - and you probably should clear the change with at least one other member.
