If you are interested in contributing to Caps Wiki you have found the right place! On the right are the current preloaded template options for creating a new page on the wiki. You can view the template by following the link on the row's header. Feel free to add or remove things as needed when making a device page. Being a wiki it's not too difficult and worst case it can always be updated later. But as some examples:
- If you want to specify the height or pitch of the capacitors, add a column to the table
- If you want to document a belt, make a new table under the parts sections to share the measurements
- If you want to show a mod instead of a repair, make a new section under "Replacement Parts" and have at it
In general you can also delete any sections you don't have information for, they can be added back later by just copy/pasting from the template.
Information Tutorial
If you want a more direct explanation of the sections there is an Example Device page to act as a tutorial on what information is intended to be put in them.
Getting started
This site is still very new and the guidelines and rules are still being worked on. Here are some rough guidelines to start out for new submissions though:
- Please upload any manuals, schematics, ROM images, or other manufacturer created documentation or resources to Archive.org and link to it in a reference here. This site doesn't have enough storage for holding large PDFs and isn't capable of dealing with possible legal challenges. Reverse engineered or other user created documents, with the author's permission, may be uploaded here.
- More information is better about capacitors, but if you found something that worked and want to share that's helpful enough for me. But if you don't have measurements for the original parts please only link to the parts you used instead and don't put their values down as the original so there is a record of what the device was designed to use.
