You can edit the 15h.org wiki! All you need is a wiki account - anyone can get one.

Get an Account

To get a wiki account, ask a wiki administrator, usually Dodoid, to create an account for you, via our Matrix room (if you are not already in the Matrix room, click here to join it).

You will be sent a temporary wiki password via direct message on Matrix - be sure to change it at Special:ChangePassword once you first log in.

If you are a wiki administrator, you can create an account for a new user at Special:CreateAccount.

Advice for Editing

Once you've got an account, here are some conventions and advice, listed in no particular order.

Board Pages

  • Articles about boards (including laptops) should be named [Manufacturer] [Product Line] [Model], if the product is part of a named product line (e.g. Lenovo ThinkPad X140e. If there is no named product line, use [Manufacturer] [Model] like ASUS KGPE-D16.
  • If you create an article about a board, create redirects, e.g. ThinkPad X140e and X140e.
  • If your board has third-party (non coreboot-15h) open-source firmware available, create a heading named Open-Source Firmware, which explains where to find and how to install it. This heading will allow automatically linking to it from its card in the Board Grid.

Images

  • If you can use a photo on a white or transparent background, this is preferred. You can remove the background from your own photos in e.g. GIMP.
  • For infobox photos of motherboards, try for a photo high-resolution enough to read text and identify chips. Look for a properly-lit straight-on image with the I/O shield on the left.
  • For infobox photos of laptops, try for a photo from the front of the machine open, showing the keyboard, palmrest, and display.
