To edit the Wiki, you'll need to get new user credentials. You can request access by sending a personal message to user “@rs232” on the Tomato Forum. Make sure to include your email address and preferred username.

• Please choose your words carefully. Some wiki readers are not fluent in English.
  
  
• Add a meaningful title to every wiki page. Format it with the Heading1 format.
  
  
• Avoid abbreviations not standard across the industry or in common English.
  
  For example, anyone unfamiliar with Linux/Unix will not know that “wl” indicates
  a Broadcom wireless interface. If it's not industry standard terminology, explain it.
  Using “LAN”, for example, works. It's common terminology.
  
  
• Avoid using the word: “Note”. It's overused, and doesn't add meaning.
  If the content isn't a critical warning, consider putting it in the
  “Notes and Troubleshooting” section at the bottom of the page.
  Otherwise, try bolding just a few of the most important words.
  
  
• Avoid underlining. Research shows it makes things hard to read.
  In terms of design/layout, it's obsolete and inappropriate.
  
  
• Check other pages to see which kinds of text content are capitalized
  and which are written in lower case.
  
  
• Check spelling with your browser's spell checker.
  
  
• When referring to FreshTomato web interface menus:
  
  • If there's only one menu with that name, indicate menu paths using just
    the name of the menu. For example, refer to the “Admin Access” menu.
  • If there's more than one menu with a similar name, write it as: /Menu/Submenu“.
    For example: ”/Bandwidth Monitoring/Real-Time“.
    This prevents people from confusing it with the ”/IP Traffic Monitoring/Real-Time“ menu.
    
    
• Avoid quotation marks, except around filenames or numeric variables.
  They're almost never appropriate.
  
  
• Use double quotation marks around filenames. For example, “wg0.conf”.
  
  
• Use rounded brackets ”()“ . Square brackets generally aren't appropriate and could
  be confused with code snippets or markdown language.
  
  

Following style guidelines makes content easier to read, and easier to understand.
It also reduces stress on the brain and eyes while reading.

The wiki uses dokuwiki as its underlying software.

It uses ProseMirror as its editor.

• Focus on content. Not everyone uses the same size monitor or resolution.
  Some people use a mobile device to access the wiki. Different browsers
  and accessibility features also affect how formatting appears (such as line breaks).

• Subheadings use the Heading2 format, and subheadings below that, Heading3.
  

• When taking screenshots, always use the “Tomato” theme (set in Admin Access).
  
  
  
  
  In general, please use this syntax for naming screenshots files for upload:
  “top level node name-bottom level node name-section name-release.png
  
  
  For example, a screenshot of the Options section in the Basic/DHCP Reservation menu
  should be named “basic-dhcp reservation-options-2024.1”.
  
  
• For screenshots of just one or few settings options under one section, use syntax:
  “top level node name-bottom level node name-option name to option name-release.png”
  
  
  Example: “advanced-wireless-roaming assistant to fragmentation threshold-2024.1”
  
  
• Please save screenshots in .png format, whenever possible.
  Lossy formats are blurry,
  and may reveal personal user data.
• Screenshots in bitmap formats should be scaled/resized in even
  multiples of their original size. Otherwise, they may appears blurry.

• Avoid quotation marks. In the context of this wiki, they should be used only:
  • When slang is used.
  • When expressing something precise, separate from the text body, such as a filesystem path.
    
    
• Avoid underlining. It's been obsolete since the 1980s and makes text harder to read.
  
  
• Avoid using the word “Note”. Put notes in the ”<Menu name> Notes” section
  that exists at the bottom of most pages.
  
  
• Except in a code window, command strings should be set in the monospace font,
  or in a callout box.
  
  
• Variables should be italicized to distinguish them from the main text.
  
  

• Process/Module names should be italicized to distinguish them from the main text.
  
  

• Avoid using dividing lines. They're obsolete. Better spacing, and modern formatting
  methods work better.
