Gentoo Wiki:FAQ/zh-cn

本维基和其他 Gentoo Linux 相关的维基的关系
本 Wiki 创建的时候已经存在多个 Gentoo 相关的社区 Wiki，最著名的是 gentoo-wiki.com. 尽管如此，我们还是创建了这个官方 Wiki，因为大多数 Gentoo 开发者与有兴趣用户不会对社区 wiki 做出贡献. 他们希望有一个官方的 Wiki.

An invitation was extended to the gentoo-wiki.com operators to merge with the Gentoo Wiki project. After some discussion they declined.

The Gentoo Wiki herd is aware of the fact that there will be duplicated effort, because the goals of the wikis overlap. However, this does not change the reasons to develop an official Wiki for Gentoo-related documentation.

Can I copy an article to here from another wiki?
Because of incompatible licenses, "copy-and-paste" of articles from gentoo-wiki.com to here is not allowed, unless all authors of an article explicitly re-license their contributions for use here.

If some other wiki uses the same licence as this Wiki (CC-BY-SA 3.0), it may be possible to copy or import the article to this wiki in a way that preserves a record of its edit history (necessary for proper licensing). Please post a request at Gentoo Wiki:Suggestions if you want to do this.

我可以使用英文以外的语言修改文章吗？
Not unless there is an English version first. This Wiki encourages the localization of pages into different languages through the use of the MediaWiki Translate extension. The extension offers several in-wiki features enabling translation of English originals to localized versions.


 * Since pages can be translated section by section instead of the whole page at once, several translators can share the work.
 * Each translated page shows how complete the translation is as a percent. Also, each untranslated section is displayed in the English original on the not-yet-complete translated page, so no information is lost.
 * Sections needing re-translation to sync them up with the English original are highlighted on the translated pages.
 * The language bar shown at the top of translatable articles lists only existing translated pages.

Gentoo Wiki project 知道使用插件会给翻译者造成一些负担（学习新的翻译界面），而又不可能使用非英文创建页面（因为英文被假定为每篇文章的初始语言）. 然而，他们认为这样做对翻译的质量和时效性的提升胜过这些缺点.

如果你真的非常想要提交一篇非英文的文章，而你又无法先翻译成英文，请到 Gentoo Wiki:Suggestions 上请求帮助.
