Contributing to the Wiki

Contributing to the Wiki is a straightforward process that allows individuals to expand and enhance the knowledge base collaboratively. The Wiki is built using Docosaurus and is stored in the Valthrun wiki repository. All the content within the Wiki can be located inside the docs folder, and the content files are typically written in Markdown for ease of editing.

Adding New Pages​

To contribute by adding new pages to the Wiki, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the Valthrun wiki repository to your local machine.
  2. In the docs folder, create a new Markdown file (.md) with the appropriate content for your new page.

Previewing Changes​

To preview any changes you make to the Wiki pages before finalizing them, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install project dependencies

    pnpm install

  2. Start the project in development mode

    pnpm start
    note

    To work on a translation, you must specify so when starting the project:

    # pnpm start --locale <local code>
    pnpm start --locale zh-cn

Docosaurus will provide you with a URL that you can open in your web browser.
Any changes you make to the content files will be immediately reflected on the live preview page, allowing you to see how your edits will appear to users.

This live preview feature provides a convenient way to review your contributions and ensure that they are accurate and well-formatted before publishing them.
