What's the point of these pages? Well, basically, they're a way to consolidate useful links and information related to XBMC and these tools. They can also be used to point to the currently active thread about the tools (for example, [[Ember Media Manager]]). It doesn't have to be anything fancy; it can literally be just a brief description and a list of links, like a community bookmark page.

On the Kodi Wiki we want to create pages for all Kodi-related supplemental tools: Category:Supplemental tools

And we want a page for every Kodi supplemental tool! Including the smartphone/tablet remotes!

What to include

Basic

What's the point of these pages? Well, basically, they're a way to consolidate useful links and information related to Kodi and these tools. They can also be used to point to the currently active thread about the tools. It doesn't have to be anything fancy; it can literally be just a brief description and a list of links, like a community bookmark page.

Advanced

However, it can also be much more if people wish, like screenshots, documentation, how-to guides, embedded youtube videos, developer information, FAQs, etc.

Create a new page


General editing help

If anyone is interested in helping out, just make an account on the wiki and have at it. Anyone can edit. The wiki formatting is very easy to understand, and if you need any help you can leave a message on the Kodi forum at any time. Brand new accounts can't make new pages for a few days, as an automatic protection against spam, but just leave a message on the Kodi forum and we will enable page creation manually on your account.
