I'm trying to update a function entry in the LSL portal wiki, but stymied by the use of templates.
For a given LSL function, where do I find the "spec" section to edit it?
The wiki needs some serious help on this, if we want ordinary programmers to be able to update it. Talk about obfuscation!
Thanks
Lear

Well, I managed to blunder upon the stuff I wanted to update. (Added info to the premissions constants table, used in llRequestPermissions page. HOW it gets included is a mystery to me!)

When creating my user pages, I just poke around and find someone else's page and go into edit mode in it to see how they did something.

easiest way is to open the edit page for a page that already has the info/style you're trying to get on the other page... that'll show you how to format it... also since the wiki is finiky, make sure you copy your edit before you preview it. always preview it.

...though I haven't for a long time...is I ignore the templates, edit the Wiki using standard Wiki editing stuff, and if *someone* who cares about the templates wants to come along later and templify things, great.

To get started with basic wiki stuff, you can read https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Quickie_Wiki_Intro
For LSL Portal specific stuff, you can read https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Editing_Primer
In case neither of these pages is providing info helpful for you, you can leave a comment on the related talkpage to the article you'd like to edit, stating what you'd like to change. Someone will take care of it and might explain/show how it's been done.
The templating in the Wiki is very complex... That's true. It makes it hard for beginners to join. But it's a blessing once you're into it since it saves loads(!) of work.
