Editing help: Main help page • Rules • Add-on page • Skin page • Templates |
Every add-ons in our official Kodi.tv repo automatically generates a basic page on the Kodi Wiki: Category:All add-ons
And we want a page for every add-on! Including those not in the official repo! (please follow the Forum Piracy Policy for all wiki topics)
What to include
Basic
What's the point of these pages? Basically they're a way to consolidate useful links and information related to these skins, as well as provide an internal link for wiki how-to's, etc. They can also be used to point to the currently active forum 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.
Add-ons not in the official repo
Including add-ons not in the official repo is easy. Just follow the examples here and here. Info for the {{Add-on}} template is normally taken from the addon.xml file.
Create a new page
