115.184.17.102: /* Templates */

Start with http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples if you are new to MediaWiki markup.

== General ==

* Articles should be geared only towards the current and future versions of Emacs (currently 23 and 24) for maintainability's sake. Mentions of older Emacs versions should be as few as possible.
* Articles should not copy Emacs's or extension's official documentation - they should refer to it instead. An overview, some nice pointers, tips and links.
* Comments and questions should go to an article's discussion page. Always sign your comments with the <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> special syntax after them, otherwise the discussion will be hard to follow.

== Templates ==

There are templates defined for referencing ''variables'', ''function'', ''command'', ''keys'', ''manual'' etc. Use them for uniform experience. See [http://wikemacs.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=10 Templates].

== Categories ==

There are special categories defined for ''Operating system'', ''Emacs releases'', ''Programming languages'' etc. Use these when possible or introduce new ones as required. See [[Special:Categories]].

== Installing ==

== Building Emacs ==
You can build Emacs from [https://github.com/emacsmirror/emacs source] on every distribution out there. Use this option only if your distribution doesn't already provide an Emacs version of interest to you.

Very few distributions bundle Emacs snapshot builds. If your distribution does not have very latest builds, try the following unofficial repositories.

== Debian ==
See [http://emacs.naquadah.org/ emacs-snapshot APT repo]. The page contains installation instructions. High quality, highly recommended builds! After adding the repo install with the following command:
<source lang="bash">
$ sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot
</source>

== Ubuntu ==
<source lang="bash">
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cassou/emacs
$ sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot
</source>

== Gentoo ==
See [http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/lisp/emacs/emacs.xml Emacs on Gentoo page].

== Arch Linux ==
See [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33337 emacs-bzr] package from [http://aur.archlinux.org/index.php AUR]

== Slackware ==
Compile and Install using [http://github.com/cycojesus/slackbuilds/tree/master/e/emacs emacs.SlackBuild (unofficial)].

== Fedora ==
No pre-built packages.

== SusE ==
No pre-built packages.

== Mandriva ==
No pre-built packages.
