how to reach the wiki from the web page of Freecad?

Post by david69 »

how do you reach the wiki pages
https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Manual:Introduction
when you are starting from the homepage of Freecad?
https://www.freecadweb.org/

I thought by clicking on Documentation of that page, we can reach the wiki in particular on the left side of the screen where we read couple points of documentations.

First link is just pointing to a sub-page of the WIKI.

Hence, you are right, it looks as there is no easily visible link from the homepage and/or the WIKI into this MANUAL . Apparently, even though i m involved in the documentation stuff...i did not even know it exists.

Maybe someone can put some light into this ?

Is this an official valid document ?, which for me means tons of work in translating to german ahead...

I'm trying to complete the translation in French. I'm doing that on a 15" laptop at home and as i wanted to check couple points on a 19" screen at work, I have not been able to find the link.

to answer you, Harry, I don't know if it is official. I would think yes as we are in the section "wiki" but in same time no as it's hard to find an official link.
the question is opened.

Specifically the Getting started page. I'm not sure of the rationale of choosing this page rather than the wiki's Main page.

It was published by Yorik himself in 2016 in Gitbook format, then integrated into the wiki. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=16534

The manual is only accessible from the Main Page. To get to the main page from Getting started, just click on the FreeCAD logo at the top left.

That's what I was looking for and without your help, I was unable to make the connection between my own link and yours.I well saw in the link freecadweb.org/wiki/Getting_started the common word "wiki" but i was confused and am still. When we are with the French version, what is written on the left column does not necessary match with the title of the page. I may revise this point if you agree on the principle.

What do you think to put a title with "wiki" word on this page something like "welcome on the wiki of Freecad"
