Chiunque può contribuire a UserBase, ma è consigliabile creare un account. La pagina Avvio rapido ti spiega come registrarti e connetterti.
Sii consapevole che che il tuo contributo verrà gestito secondo le licenze Gnu Free Document Licence e Creative Commons. Fai clic sulle immagini nel pannello di navigazione per leggere i dettagli.
Utilizza la pagina Discussione per comunicare con gli altri contributori o per chiedere aiuto.

Il tuo contributo dovrebbe riguardare il software KDE, direttamente o indirettamente. Pensato quindi:

per i nuovi utenti, come aiuto per iniziare;

per gli utenti comuni, per imparare nuove funzioni e per suggerimenti;

per gli utenti esperti, ma utilizzando sottopagine.

Non per gli sviluppatori: Techbase è il sito a loro dedicato.

Remember

It's important to be consistent, so here are some general rules:

Take care with heading levels - we start at second level (Mediawiki uses top level for page-name), using "=="
Make sure you refer frequently to this page and to typographical guidelines
Check if all table cells have space after the pipe character. This rule conforms with traditional wiki formatting.
Make application name formatting consistent (avoid using Amaroks, do use Amarok's).
For screenshots and other images, .png format is preferred. The Upload page lists the file types that are acceptable. .
Remove all non-printable characters from image names.

Some Preferences that will help -

If you don't have [edit] links against the sections, open your My Preferences (in the Personal Tools section of the sidebar) then look for Editing and in the Advanced Options set Enable section editing via [edit] links
While you are in those settings, enable Show preview on first edit - while you are editing you can glance at the original display for reference
The default display is to show the preview first, with the edit box below. If you prefer the edit box at the top you can change that setting in the same place
