+ | ===== Instructions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To create a new 'Metric Detail' page follow these steps: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - In the __[[oss-health-metrics:metrics|metrics list]]__, convert the name of a metric into a link | ||
+ | - The link looks like this: ''%%__[[oss-health-metrics:metrics:name-of-metric|Name of Metric]]__%%''. | ||
+ | - **Important:** The namespace ''oss-health-metrics:metrics:'' places the page in the right location of the wiki and has to be there. | ||
+ | - Before the verticle bar, the //Name of Metric// should be lower case and spaces replaced by hyphens. | ||
+ | - Copy the text below the horizontal bar into the new wiki page. | ||
+ | - Remove explanations in all sections and leave sections empty if no information is available at the moment. | ||
+ | - **Important:** Do not delete a section heading because we want all 'Metric Detail' pages to be structured the same. | ||
