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.

我们向 gentoo-wiki.com 的运营者提出与 Gentoo Wiki 合并的请求. 但是经过讨论后被他们拒绝了.

Gentoo Wiki 小组知道这会造成重复的劳动，因为这些 wiki 的目标是有交集的，但是创建这个官方 wiki 的初衷还是没有改变.

我能从其他 wiki 直接拷贝文章过来吗？
由于协议不兼容，直接从 gentoo-wiki.com “复制粘贴”文章到这里是“不允许的”，除非文章的“所有的作者”明确重新许可在这里使用他们的贡献.

Note that if an author has contributed an entire article to another wiki, that same author can simply recreate their original content here (preferably along with a quick note on the article's "Discussion" page explaining the situation). This is sufficient to constitute "relicensing" of the content.

If some other wiki uses the same licence as this one (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.

Can I contribute an article in a language other than English?
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 retranslation 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.

The Gentoo Wiki project is well aware that use of this extension places a slight burden on translators (to learn the new translation interface), and that the creation of original pages in languages other than English is not possible (since English is assumed to be the original language of each article). However, they feel that the increase in quality and timeliness of translations outweighs the disadvantages.

If you really want to contribute a non-English article that you cannot translate into English first, please request help at Gentoo Wiki:Suggestions.
