| Requesting a new wiki site |
| ========================== |
| |
| .. important:: Do you really need a wiki? |
| |
| Back in the rosy days of the early Internet, wikis made perfect |
| sense. Today, unless you're willing to constantly monitor your wiki |
| for spam and abuse, you shouldn't really be asking to set up a wiki. |
| What you probably want instead is a documentation site. Please review |
| :doc:`docs`, and strongly consider if it's a better fit than having a |
| wiki. |
| |
| If you do have a convincing reason to have wiki site, we may be able to |
| host one for you. Please send the following information to |
| helpdesk@kernel.org: |
| |
| - Name of the site: [foo.wiki.kernel.org] |
| - Purpose of the site: [Foo kernel module documentation] |
| - Reasons why it must be a wiki: [Migrating existing dokuwiki] |
| - Contact address for spam reports and complaints: [foo@example.com] |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| We only support new dokuwiki deployments. |
