Welcome to the YSTV Documentation Wiki.

This is intended to document as much of the Station as possible - how it works and how to run it. We also have HistoryWiki, for articles on people, shows and other events. Most of this wiki will be technical, however that does not mean that non-technical stuff should not be documented!

This is very much a Work in Progress so please contribute where you can - don't worry about getting it perfect, a more experienced wiki editor will probably come along and clean up or format the article for you. Just concentrate on documenting your useful knowledge of YSTV for future members.

For now, only people with domain accounts can create/edit pages (or see the juicy things in the Computing: namespace). If you need one, find a Computing Team member (emailing computing.team AT ystv dot co dot uk is a good start). The IRC channel might also find us. If you feel like improving the Computing side of YSTV, have a look at our Trac website bug tracker or ask to join our Asana workspace.

  • Help with wiki markup and editing procedure can be found in Wikipedia's Help.

  • If you'd like any extra namespaces created, just yell: computing@ystv.
  • Wikipedia's Help:Cheatsheet is a quick way to start making links, formatting and adding images and tables.
