Wiki Howto

 

Table of Contents 
  1. Some points to keep in mind
  2. How to use the wiki

 

This page describes a few things about how to edit the wiki effectively and also the dos and don'ts related to editing the wiki.

 

Some points to keep in mind


1. Only someone who has successfully solved a problem in any of our monthly contests will be able to edit the wiki.

2. Keep the wiki content simple and easy to understand.

3. Do not change the page titles if you haven't created the page. This might lead to broken links elsewhere.

4. Please do not create pages arbitrarily. Create them only when required.

5. Please do not change the links posted on pages. This might break them.

 

 

How to use the wiki


1. If you want to link to a page titled X, you can do so by placing two '[' to the left of X and two to the right.

2. Use heading  tags like <h3> etc. sparingly as they are used to generate the table of contents on the fly. Any content within <h3> tags will be included in the table of contents.

3. Place the table of contents at the top of the page. A table of contents can be included by placing one '[' to the left of 'toc' and one to the right.

4. There is a revisions tab at the top which will show the different revisions of the page. Please do not revert back to any revision arbitrarily.

5.  You can click on the html button in the editor to get the html source of what will be displayed. You can add tags like <h3> etc. as well as lists and tables using this.

6.  If you are posting source code and want it to be automatically highlighted, paste the code in ['code'] [/'code'] tags. (Ignore the quotes while actually using the tags)

7. Every created page should ideally be linked to from somewhere. So, if one wants to create a page, edit an existing page from where it should be linked and then when you click on the link, you will be taken to the page creation page. So if you want to create a tutorial called ABC, go to the Tutorials page and add a link to a page titled ABC by placing ABC in two [  to the left and two ] to the right of it. Once you save this, you will get a link on this page which will take you to the creation page for your new page titled ABC.

CodeChef - A Platform for Aspiring Programmers

CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming and programming contests. At CodeChef we work hard to revive the geek in you by hosting a programming contest at the start of the month and another smaller programming challenge in the middle of the month. We also aim to have training sessions and discussions related to algorithms, binary search, technicalities like array size and the likes. Apart from providing a platform for programming competitions, CodeChef also has various algorithm tutorials and forum discussions to help those who are new to the world of computer programming.

Practice Section - A Place to hone your 'Computer Programming Skills'

Try your hand at one of our many practice problems and submit your solution in a language of your choice. Our programming contest judge accepts solutions in over 35+ programming languages. Preparing for coding contests were never this much fun! Receive points, and move up through the CodeChef ranks. Use our practice section to better prepare yourself for the multiple programming challenges that take place through-out the month on CodeChef.

Compete - Monthly Programming Contests and Cook-offs

Here is where you can show off your computer programming skills. Take part in our 10 day long monthly coding contest and the shorter format Cook-off coding contest. Put yourself up for recognition and win great prizes. Our programming contests have prizes worth up to Rs.20,000 and $700lots more CodeChef goodies up for grabs.

Discuss

Are you new to computer programming? Do you need help with algorithms? Then be a part of CodeChef's Forums and interact with all our programmers - they love helping out other programmers and sharing their ideas. Have discussions around binary search, array size, branch-and-bound, Dijkstra's algorithm, Encryption algorithm and more by visiting the CodeChef Forums and Wiki section.

CodeChef Community

As part of our Educational initiative, we give institutes the opportunity to associate with CodeChef in the form of Campus Chapters. Hosting online programming competitions is not the only feature on CodeChef. You can also host a coding contest for your institute on CodeChef, organize an algorithm event and be a guest author on our blog.

Go For Gold

The Go for Gold Initiative was launched about a year after CodeChef was incepted, to help prepare Indian students for the ACM ICPC World Finals competition. In the run up to the ACM ICPC competition, the Go for Gold initiative uses CodeChef as a platform to train students for the ACM ICPC competition via multiple warm up contests. As an added incentive the Go for Gold initiative is also offering over Rs.8 lacs to the Indian team that beats the 29th position at the ACM ICPC world finals. Find out more about the Go for Gold and the ACM ICPC competition here.
