Improved the contribution documentation to include some more information on how one can contribute to the Wiki, as well as instructions on getting started with the Wiki software.

Changes:

  • Moved the structures.md article from the Advanced to the Basic topic. There is nothing really advanced about it, except for Categories, which now has its own article under advanced.
  • Added how to make articles as well as making links between them and headers, since editing articles was the only thing explained at the time. Also added some links to how Markdown styling is done for those who have not touched Markdown before.
  • Changed the _meta.json file to meta.json under the Testing Suite section. Not sure if that was done on purpose or not. Reverted back as the Test Suite would appear in searches when it shouldn't.
  • Added an article for getting started with the Wiki software. Includes several VSCode extensions to help with development and explains the key folders used by the software.
  • Added an article for adding a category to the Home page of the Wiki.

The test category should probably be left hidden for now, otherwise it'll show up in search results.

The Test Suite is programmed in the software to not show up, I believe, not base on the meta.json file existing, let me check again just in case.

If you try searching for text from there it'll still appear. we'd probably also need to exclude it in the robots.txt file

Articles on the Strata Source Wiki consist of Markdown files that work with the [standard set of syntax](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/).

The Wiki also follows some, but not all, of [GitHub's Markdown styling formats](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax) (Ex. Alerts/Notices).

I would combine these sentences perhaps. Could also note the auto docs

Articles on the Strata Source Wiki consist of a mix of Markdown files and autogenerated docs from JSON dumps. The markdown docs follow mostly standard syntax with some of GitHub's syntax

or something vaguely similar (but maybe fancier words as you had prior)

All the Markdown files on the Wiki are inside topics. Topics are the folders that make up certain sections of categories. Example of `Category/Topic/Article`: `Audio/Overview/Sound System`. These Markdown files are placed into where they should displayed in the Wiki.

we dont use it much, but you can make folders nested within topics as well. such as category/topic/subtopic/subtopic2/article

I couldn't find a robots.txt file. Is that something server-side for the official wiki? @ozxybox
