Filter/Script authors - submit your documentation to the Wiki

[raffriff42]

If you have written a filter or nontrivial script and you would like to submit it for consideration on the Avisynth wiki, here is a template to get you started: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/ExampleFilter

It has places to post the download link, document your arguments, provide some sample code, et cetera.

I've quoted the template instructions below:

1. Right-Click the Edit tab at the top of the page and open in a new browser tab. Keep these instructions open for reference.
2. In the new tab, you will see a page full of Wiki code; copy everything below "END INSTRUCTIONS" to the clipboard.
3. In the new tab, edit the page URL:
   • Replace ?title=ExampleFilter&action=edit with /YourFilterName
   • Your filter name should be one word - no spaces - but this is not mandatory.
   • First letter must be UPPERCASE due to Wikicode requirements.
   • Don't forget to remove the "?" and replace it with "/"
4. Hit Enter. If the title is already in use, you will be taken to that page.
   • If the page already exists, hit your browser's Back button.
   • Try a different title: Rename your filter, or add a suffix like "/CoolFilter (updated)"
5. If your title is unique, you will be greeted with the "There is currently no text in this page" banner. Click on the "edit this page" link.
6. Paste the source code you copied in Step 2.
7. Areas that need your attention are marked with HTML comments <!-- like this -->. Fill in as much information as you can. Leave the rest.
8. Click the Show Preview button to see how your page will look.
9. Click the Save page button to create the new page.
10. If you did something wrong, Click the Edit tab and fix it.

Please don't worry about formatting or incomplete information; just do the best you can.
A more experienced user will come along and clean up the page for you, and add a link to your page @External filters (don't do this yourself).

(Hmmm, I suppose you could submit documentation for a filter or script even if you aren't the author...)

*EDIT: you need to register to edit on this wiki - there is no anonymous editing like there is on Wikipedia.

*EDIT: you might want to read, How can I contribute to the AviSynth documentation project?

This should make it easier for people to contribute.Thanks raffriff42

[vcmohan]

can this thread be made sticky? Otherwise it will be out of normal display pages of the forum and searching will be a problem, without knowing name of thread.
Good work. Will get uniformity.

I do not see edit tab

[raffriff42]

You need to create an account first. Sorry, I should have mentioned that small detail...

[Reel.Deel]

How about adding this to the 'get involved' page?

[raffriff42]

I want somebody with no prior Wiki knowledge to guinea pig it! Tell me what about it sucks!

(I wanted to make a nice Web form but the Wiki doesn't support that, so I can only hope this edit-the-template model works well enough for most filter/script developers)

I already have an account with avisynth and logged in. What I see is a 'discussion' tab. On clicking it, with a message that I am allowed, it took me to that page. I did not see edit tab.

[vcmohan]

I also suggest that you may get this thread listed under sticky threads, as otherwise it will not be normally shown after a few days. One need to know the thread name to search,

I think Wilbert has to authorize your account first.

[Wilbert]

You should be able to edit pages if you email address is confirmed (provided you added one of course).

@vcmohan, what is your user-id?

That name does not show up on this list. All of the old accounts from the old avisynth.org where not transferred to the new domain (avisynth.nl).

Tried to create a new account. Always rejects stating incorrect or missing confirmation code. Does it require a set answer for the captcha question ?

[Wilbert]

Does it require a set answer for the captcha question ?

Yes it does. If you can't get it to work i will create an account for you.

I tried Discrete Cosine Transform, Cascading Style Sheets. Did not work. Tried Direct Cash Transfer. Did not work. Please create one for me.

Well what is the password, do tell Wilbert, I'm intrigued, is it really "Dual-clutch transmission" ?

[vcmohan]

I am unable to proceed. As per instructions I have replaced
#* Replace '''?title=ExampleFilter&action=edit''' with
#* '''/AdaptiveMedian'''
and hit enter. Nothing happens. In preview I see the name.
Am I doing something wrong?

[raffriff42]

Step by step:

Go to ExampleFilter, click Edit



Right-click, Select All.
Right click again, Copy.



Replace ?title=ExampleFilter&action=edit
with /YourFilterName





Hit Enter or the equivalent browser button.



Click Edit this page.



Right click, Paste.



Continue with instructions in the first post.
