Help:Knowledge Base
From Forum Nokia Wiki
The Knowledge Base is a Forum Nokia published library of known issues and technical solutions.
Known issues describe the known differences that devices and platforms have when compared to the specification, and explain situations where the implementation may cause some unexpected behavior. Note that a solution or workaround is provided, where possible.
Technical Solutions are usually comprised of developer questions that have been answered by the Forum Nokia Technical Support Team. The Technical Support cases have been generalized and are published as Technical Solutions to serve also other developers. Please note that customer and developer business confidential information is never published. Technical solutions also include tips and tricks and information that may not be documented well enough in other resources.
All official Forum Nokia knowledge base articles are published by the username Forum Nokia KB and have their own unique ID numbers. The content has been checked by Forum Nokia technical experts, and the articles are locked to prevent further editing, but you are welcome to add comments and feedback on published knowledge base articles on the comment tab of the article. Also, you can create your own known issues, see instructions below.
Adding comments to published knowledge base articles
You are welcome to ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections on knowledge base articles on the Comment page of the page. Click the comment tab to reach it and write your comment. You can sign your message by writing 4 tildes ~~~~. The wiki software turns them into the current time and your username. Note that you have to be logged in to write your comments. Knowledge Base administrator will follow the feedback added through the comment tab, and the feedback is taken into account in future updates.
Reporting known issues
You can also report new known issues simply by creating a new wiki page, and marking the page with Known Issue category and the Knowledge Base - Developer Contributed template. To invoke the template, add the line {{KBDC}} at the top of the page. Knowledge Base articles written by developers appear on the Developer Known Issues and Technical Solutions page.
