NixOS Wiki:Contributing to the wiki
Any registered user can contribute to the wiki in two main ways: to the wiki itself, and on the GitHub repository.
Contributing content
Only registered accounts are allowed to edit pages. Therefore, if you'd like to add a new page or edit existing pages, create an account on the wiki. You might also have to confirm your e-mail address to contribute to some pages.
You should read and be aware of the Project:Manual of Style before contributing content to the wiki. If you need help getting started, read the editing help page or syntax cheatsheet.
Consider joining the NixOS Wiki community on Matrix to stay up to date with the latest project-wide efforts. There are occasional NixOS Wiki meetings which are open to any editor that wants to get involved in coordinated work across the whole website.
Joining a WikiProject
- Main article: NixOS Wiki:WikiProjects
If you're unsure where to start, you can pick one of the |WikiProjects that best aligns with your interests. Most WikiProjects will include a list of members and a list of current active efforts you can contribute to. Do reach out to them via their user talk page or jump in helping with one of their ongoing projects.
Contributing to the infrastructure
The NixOS Wiki infrastructure is community-run through Infrastructure-as-Code configuration, and any changes to it are managed via Pull Request. Naturally, conversation regarding any such proposals happen there and on the Matrix channel. You can open an issue or a pull request to suggest changes to the community.
