How to Contribute

This wiki is designed to be as easy as possible to contribute to. You don’t need to install anything or clone any repo. Just edit in your browser.

Quick Edit (easiest)

1. Find the page you want to edit
2. Click “Edit this page” at the bottom
3. GitHub opens with an editor — make your changes
4. Click “Propose changes” — this creates a pull request automatically
5. A maintainer (or auto-merge) will handle the rest.

Create a New Page

1. Click “Create a new page” at the bottom of any page, or
2. Go to the content folder on GitHub and create a new .md file

Start your page with frontmatter:

---
title: Your Page Title
tags:
  - technique
---
 
Your content here. Use [[wikilinks]] to link to other pages.

Content Structure

Pages are organised into folders:

• papers/ — academic papers
• talks/ — presentations, videos, talks
• guides/ — tutorials and explainers
• techniques/ — specific fixes and optimizations (bilinear fix, pre-averaging, etc.)
• variants/ — variant algorithms (HRC, surfel RC, etc.)
• implementations/ — code by engine/platform
• tools/ — utilities, calculators, visualisers

Don’t overthink it — put a page where it seems to fit.

Tags

You can use tags to make pages browsable by topic:

• paper — academic papers
• talk — presentations and videos
• guide — tutorials and walkthroughs
• implementation — working code
• fix — specific fixes and corrections
• variant — variant algorithms
• tool — utilities and helpers

If no appropriate tag exists, create a new one.

Writing Tips

• Use wikilinks — [[page-name]] or [[page-name|Display Text]] to link between pages
• Add tags — helps with discovery and navigation
• Keep it loose — the wiki is for reference, not an encyclopedia.

Page Naming

• Use lowercase kebab-case: my-page-name.md
• Keep names short and descriptive

For Trusted Contributors

If you’re a trusted contributor, your PRs to the content/ directory will be auto-merged. Ask me (OrionReed) in the Discord if you’d like to be added. I am happy to add admins to the repo, and also happy to migrate this wiki to someone else’s control or org if it is beneficial to the community.
