Welcome to the YSTV Documentation Wiki.

This is intended to document as much of the Station as possible. We’ve got a regular wiki, dubbed HistoryWiki, to create articles on people, shows and other events. Most of this documentation 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 cleanup or format the article for you. Just concentrate on documenting your useful knowledge of YSTV for future members.

For now, only people with server accounts can create/edit pages. If you need one, find a Computing Team member. The IRC channel might be a place to start.

Getting Started

To Do

Current Namespaces

You can currently create pages beginning with:

  • Computing:
  • Technical:
  • Cameras:
  • Editing:
  • OB:

If you'd like any extra namespaces created, just yell: computing@ystv.

Useful reference

Editing this wiki

  • See the Manual of Style for information on style conventions.
  • Help with wiki markup and editing procedure can be found in Wikipedia's Help:Contents.
  • If you want to link to something on HistoryWiki, prefix your internal link with hist: like this: [[hist:YSTV Timeline|]] = YSTV Timeline.
