This wiki will be the first port of call of many thousands of Manjaro users, both new and old, inexperienced and experienced. It is also a reflection of the Manjaro Team and Community as a whole, helping to form first impressions and ultimately factoring in to whether potential users will try Manjaro, and whether existing users will stick with it. As such, the wiki is an important aspect of the Manjaro distribution, and the contribution of articles to it is not to be taken lightly. '''To help out contributors, as few basic rules have been provided'''.

= How to Create an Account =
During the account creation process, some contributors have had issues providing the correct response to a command such as:
What is the output of " date -u +%WLinux|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g' " ?'''
The command provided must of course must be placed into a Linux terminal in order to get the answer. Furthermore, it is worthwhile noting that the command itself must be entered <u>without the speech marks</u>, as otherwise the terminal will simply create an error message. So, for the above example, the following would be placed into the terminal in order to provide the correct response:
date -u +%WLinux|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'
Although it is certainly appreciated that this checking process can be a bit of a nuisance, it is unfortunately necessary in order to prevent an avalanche of spam attacks on the wiki.
