Help:Introduction
Our techRepo is powered by MediaWiki, same as other wikis such as Wikipedia or other community fandom/wikia sites. If you have used any of these, techRepo's main functionalities are the shared with them.
The purpose of techRepo is to keep the club's public documents, working and final.
If you are an ARC's team member and is working on a document, unless you think the information should not be made public (e.g. secrets, proprietary information, copyrighted information, personal information), consider writing them in techRepo first.
Workflow[edit source]
Anyone can and is encouraged to create an account on techRepo. A team member accepted into ARC must have an account using the email address given to them to work in the club. If you already have an account, you can login here.
Please contact your team leader if you have created an account using a different email address.
Articles[edit source]
In an article, there is always two sections: Content page, and Discussion page. If anyone has any questions or comments about a content in each page, please leave it in the Discussion page so that other readers can view the questions and answers.
Oftentimes the link to the Discussion page is red, this means no one has asked anything yet. You can click the red link directly to start the discussion.
When you are working on an article/document that should have multiple authors, you can start the draft immediately on the mainspace by typing the name of the article you are going to create in the search bar. Don't worry too much about the name as it can always be moved to a better one later.
User space[edit source]
When you created an account, you would have your own empty user page. You can customise this however you wanted. You would also have your own discussion page where other users can leave messages to you. Please note that message left there is visible to the public.
When you are writing a personal draft document, you should write it in your subpage as User:YourUsername/YourDraftName to keep the mainspace from being too cluttered.
Languages[edit source]
techRepo primary working language is English. This is due to the vast amount of technical information and publications being in English. Nevertheless, some pages could have Thai translation provided for members' convenience. However, if the document is written to Thai institutions, or is archived from a Thai original, it should be titled and written in Thai from the start.
If you are writing a document in your subpages, or leaving comments on any user's discussion page, you are free to use any language you wish. For the discussion page on the mainspace, please try to use English if you can, but do not hesitate to leave a message in any language you are able to.
More questions?[edit source]
If you have any more questions, leave them in the discussion page here. We will try to answer them and update the summary here.
And remember: mistakes are fixable here so please try working on it without hesitation! We will be learning about it together, and here, doing it wrong is better than not doing at all.
