Well, I moved up the release of this a bit due to Chook's post regarding stickys for known issues. Might as well get the ball rolling!
I've got a wiki (think Wikipedia) started for us to have a permanent and easy to navigate knowledge base for our HUMMERs. We can have model history, upgrades, repairs, troubleshooting - you name it. The great thing about wikis are that they are user generated. The collective knowledge of many HUMMER owners is much better than the knowledge of just a few.
The goal is to take the great tech posts from the forum and put them in the H4Owiki. It will take some typing but mostly copy and paste. Help pages are available for formatting, creating pages, etc. If you're not sure how to do it it would still be great to create an ugly post with great content. We'll make it pretty later, but content is first and foremost most important.
So far, I've only added a couple of technical things from our Tech Library: oil changes and Hunner's HVAC fix.
Please note that anything you add must be of public domain. No copyrighted material is allowed. Also, when appropriate, provide references.
A lot of you have had great ideas - I think it was 06 H3 that wanted a fastener database, for example.
For now, pictures will be external links or uploads to the H4Owiki. Not sure that I want to embed external pics just yet.
I'll add a permanent link to the Navbar soon at the top of the forum but the software is fighting me right now, so that's delayed a bit.
Remember, this content and where H4Owiki goes is up to you! I put down a suggested layout to get us started but I don't expect that's where we'll go in the long run. Add pages, add links, modify structure - it's all you. Basic forum rules will remain in place: no damaging the forum/wiki will be allowed (it's expected that you will correct mis-information but won't wipe out good information); H4O-approved vendor links are allowed, and links to non-H4O related items are allowed too, like to external resources and citations, etc.
I'm learning as we go so please post up any questions, concerns, etc.
If you have some great technical posts here on H4O, we hope that you'll take a few minutes and create a copy in the wiki.
Help tip #1:
If you want to create a subsection under "Troubleshooting", click "Edit" under the correct section. The new section header should be "===Your Topic Name===" (3 Equals signs creates the correct header layout)
More information is under "Formatting" in the H4Owiki Help menu.
