Update Process

The update process for wiki pages needs to follow this sequence:

Datestamp for the Update

Add the current date and time to your TODO tag in this format:

(MM.DD.YY-HH:mm->IN±)

Where:

• MM is the month, [01,12]
• DD is the day, [01,31]
• YY is the last two digits of the year.
• HH is the hour, in 24 hour time format
• mm is the minute. (It is okay to round to the nearest 5 minutes).
• IN represents the initials of the engineer, as assigned elsewhere on this wiki.
• ± is either a + or a - and indicates whether it passed this step and moved forward (with a +), or if it was marked Buggy, Deprecated or Obsolete (with a -).

For example:

(10.22.13-23:00->MD+)

Indicates that a page was changed on October 22, 2013 at 11pm by Mike Dean, and that the change was to move its progress forward.

Order of Progression for Tags

1. NotStarted - This tag denotes a new page that needs to be written.
2. InProgress - Use this whenever work is being done on a page. This includes during revisions after a review.
3. Review - This tag marks that the page is ready to be reviewed (not that it has been reviewed). Put in the initials of another engineer to review the page; if you're not sure who to put, use MD.
4. Buggy - This tag means that the reviewer has found bugs (not typos) in the page, and that it needs to be reworked by the person who wrote/ported it. From here, the tag goes back to InProgress. If no bugs were found, this stage is skipped and the next tag is used instead.
5. FinalDraft - This tag indicates that the page has passed the review process, and seems to be complete. It will need to be looked at by a fresh set of eyes after a suitable period to move on to the next stage.
6. Complete - This tag indicates that the FinalDraft passed the "fresh set of eyes inspection," and is ready for publication.

Additional Tags - Usable on pages marked as Complete

1. Deprecated - Indicates that the page will not be needed for an upcoming (but not necessarily the very next) release.
2. Obsolete - Indicates that the page is not valid for the current release. This must come after Deprecated.
