Anyone can edit the wiki page
Hey, I'm new to the source code but I just edited the wiki page and it changed the site as well. I'm just wondering what if my edit was a mistake? isn't there any protection to the source code. e.g. contributor must do pull request to change something
This is how it's currently setup, that anyone can edit the pages. Of course, there is revision history so it can be reviewed and reverted. This is part of the experiment for these guides when they were created.
95% of the time this has been used positively so people can make small improvements to the pages. If you see any issues please alert us with an issue so we can revert bad changes.
I see. I'm quite amazed though by how positive the community is... But if some people harm the content occasionally, I think the pull-request mechanism (sourcing the content from git repository) is more suitable for this kind of open-sourced-content
Hi @nesquena, I am really sorry, because I have edit this one page https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Must-Have-Libraries#easy-navigation
I added my own library at Navigation section, and thought there will be PR with my change, which will be considered in the future.
If you are not against this change, then this is very cool, but if you do not want to see it in your repo, then roll back it, please.
I apologize again, did not think that the wiki can be freely edited.
No problem, yes it often catches people by surprise that the wiki is freely editable, in the years it’s been up, there’s been very few cases where this has been an issue.
I generally reserve the list for libraries that are popular and well-tested.
