| If any page has '''edit with form''' ([[Acoustic-Doppler_Velocimeters|example]]) [INSERT EXAMPLE PIC], please use this option to edit the page to avoid destroying the wiki's organization.
| |
| | |
| * If the information doesn't exist, please use the appropriate form to create new pages. This will ensure they can be easily editable and searchable via Category pages.
| |
| | |
| = Forms =
| |
| There are two forms i.e., page types that can be used by anyone on the wiki:
| |
| # [[Form:NetcdfGlossary|Glossary]] for mathematical and data symbols, with optional subcategories.
| |
| # [[Form:DefineConcept|Concept]] for defining short, reusable [[:Category:Concept]] or longer derivations which are categorized as [[:Category:Fundamentals]].
| |
| | |
| The templates control the formatting, but a free form text box allows the users to add any supporting information (figures, citations). Through these forms, users can optionally assign optional category for the instrument type(s).
| |
| | |
| == Glossary == | |
| The form automatically appends a [[:Category:Glossary]], and optional subcategories. Please visit this [[Form:NetcdfGlossary|link]] for a full explanation of the form.
| |
| | |
| If no page already exists, create one by inserting its title in the box below.
| |
| '''Please use the variable's standard/full name''' as the title instead of a symbol.
| |
| The supplied name is the wiki page's title. This will help make the list more meaningful. For example, creating a page named [[Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation]] is more meaningful title than ''epsilon''. Mediawiki always converts the first letter into capital. Refrain from using capital letters elsewhere in the page definition.
| |
| {{#forminput:form=NetcdfGlossary}}
| |
| | |
| == Concept ==
| |
| The [[Form:DefineConcept| Concept form]] will ask if you are creating a [[:Category:Concept]], or a [[:Category:Fundamentals]] page. This can be changed later using ''edit with form''. Here's an example concept for [[Acoustic-Doppler Velocimeters]] developed using the [[Form:DefineConcept|form]].
| |
| | |
| If a concept becomes long, i.e., contains too many topics, consider splitting the page into smaller concepts. A fundamentals page should be reserved for describing/linking multiple concepts.
| |
| Please create pages using a descriptive title page. This will help make the category list more meaningful. For example, creating a page named ''Velocity despiking'' is more meaningful title than ''despike''.

Creating and editing wiki pages
- You can create new pages and edit existing ones provided you have a user account using the steps detailed here.
- At the moment, only Category:Concept and Category:Glossary pages should be edited by anyone.
Eventually, we'll be accepting comments from the community when the processing steps will be delineated on the wiki.
