Gswiki:Requests

This is the page to request something for or about the GemStone IV Wiki.

Requests, unless due to an editing restriction, are open to any editor to work on.

The main page (this one) houses instructions on how to submit a request, instructions on how to mark a request complete, and the list of active or open requests.

The TALK page facilitates the requests page by allowing editors to submit their requests in an organized fashion separated by subject. See below for instructions.

Submitting a Request

1. To submit a new request, please click here.
2. Under Subject, enter the name of the request. This serves as the request's section header.
3. In the main body of the page, enter the details of the request.
4. Be sure to sign your request with ~~~~. This will automatically populate user name, date and time in its place when saved.

Working & Completing Requests

Any editor may work on and complete requests, with the exception of items that have editing restrictions (see GSWiki Policy) or articles that are page protected. When communicating with the requestor, it is important to keep the response in the same section, preferably indented, and ensure the response is signed.

Request Completion

1. To mark a request complete, click edit source on the TALK page (NOT Add topic or STart a new topic).
2. Respond to the request noting it is a completed and sign it with ~~~~.
3. Add the {{completedrequest}} template at the top of the request section, below the header.
