Every add-on in our official XBMC.org repo automatically generates a basic page on the XBMC Wiki: wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Category:All_add-ons
What's the point of these pages? Well, basically, they're a way to consolidate useful links and information related to these add-ons, as well as provide an internal link for Wiki how-to's, etc. They can also be used to point to the currently active thread about the tools (for example, Hulu ). 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.
However, it can also be much more if people wish, like documentation, how-to guides, embedded youtube videos, developer information, etc. Take a look at these examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
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)
Including add-ons not in the Official repo is easy. Just follow the examples here and here. Click "EDIT" on any page to see how they are made. Info for the {{Addon}} template is normally taken from the addon.xml file.
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 PM me at any time. We also have a basic help page here.
Feel free to ask if you are unsure if you should make a page, but don't be afraid to make mistakes! No one will get mad or be punished for mistakes on the wiki. All edits are saved and we can roll back if there are mistakes. Be bold!
