The Wikimate project welcomes contributions of all kinds, no matter how small! Feel free to open an issue to discuss your suggestion or request, or submit your changes directly as a pull request if you prefer.
Below are some guidelines that might help you prepare your contribution.
- Limit pull requests limited to a single feature or bugfix. Unrelated changes should be sent as separate PRs. The exception are minor cleanup changes, which can be included (as a separate commit) in the PR that prompted them.
- Use atomic commits. Try to create commits that are as small as possible while still representing a self-contained set of changes, and use descriptive commit messages. We recommend these principles for writing great commit messages (but they're not enforced, so don't sweat it 🙂).
- Include a
CHANGELOG.mdentry in every pull request. This makes it much easier to prepare releases, and allows the author of each change to properly summarize it. - Update the documentation in
USAGE.mdif necessary. When writing prose, break lines semantically. We don't have a strict maximum line length (especially since things like long URLs can easily surpass them), but you should start thinking about breaking lines once they're approaching 100 characters in length.
