Hi Everyone,

Today Google announced the completion of the 2020 Season of Docs program https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants. Google Season of Docs (GSoD) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Season_of_Docs pairs technical writers with open source organizations to work on 3-month long projects to improve documentation.

As part of this year’s GSoD program, Wikimedia’s participant, Gbadebo Bello, developed new resources for folks working on technical documentation. This included several templates for common types of documents: Quick start guides documentation template: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Quick_Start_Guides_Documentatio... https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Quick_Start_Guides_Documentation_Template

Walkthroughs, how-tos, and tutorials templates: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Walkthoughs,_how-tos_and_tutori... https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Walkthoughs,_how-tos_and_tutorials_templates

Library documentation template: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Library_Documentation_Template https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Library_Documentation_Template

API documentation template: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/API_Documentation_Template https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/API_Documentation_Template Gbadebo also developed a review process to help improve the accuracy, grammar, and style of technical documents. We’ll be testing and refining this process in the coming months and encourage you to try it out with your documentation, too.

You can read more about the review process on MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Documentation_Review_Processes https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Documentation_Review_Processes

These resources are all linked from the Documentation page on MediaWiki.
