Hi fellow wiki editors!
To help newly registered users get more familiar with the wiki (and maybe older users too) there is now a {{Welcome to the wiki}} template. Have a look at it and feel free to add it to new users discussion pages (and perhaps your own).
I have tried to keep the template short, but meaningful. /Johan G

Shorten note and remove redundancy concerning disk space requirements
-161
→Selecting the components to build: Little clarification
+112
→Options: Fix title case and reorder: present advanced options last
+28
“Compiling the last known-stable versions” was discussed in two places so far; gather them under “Choosing between stable and development versions”
+48
Move “Selecting the components to build” inside “Task-specific instructions” (not an option per se, and so important that it deserves to come very early)
+62
Precisions (note: the “above” will really be above in a minute)
+166
→Selecting the components to build: Add anchor
+55
2 May 2019
→See also: Add reference to fg-from-scratch and improve style
+42
→Task-specific instructions: Add section “Passing custom arguments to CMake”
+1,946
More consistent header names
m+6
Reduce redundancy (only one copy of the list of available components in the main text—sample output of download_and_compile.sh --help has a second copy)
-294
→Launching FlightGear: Add precisions (start without any launcher)
+490
1 May 2019
→Additional programs: Add sections for TG and TGGUI
+1,229
→Compiling selected components: Description for TG and TGGUI
+68
→Compiling only one program: Retitle and amend wording (trivial generalization)
-83
→Compiling only one program: Fix program names, add wikilinks
+57
→Avoiding multiple downloads of FGData: FG build uses FGData too (picks up translations and creates .qm files), therefore FGData version must match FG version also when building FG
+12
Add precision: what happens when --launcher is omitted
+168
Add label to section “Avoiding multiple downloads of FGData”
m+57
Move sections about FGRun and FGo! to “Additional programs”
+370
Remove obsolete information (already contained in the previous change, in a way that works today) ; the change in directory structure being automatically handled by d&c and already an old thing, doesn't warrant drawing reader attention nowadays
-1,513
Revised instructions that avoid the well-known fatal “RPC failed (...) The remote end hung up unexpectedly” error when cloning FGData, without compromising security (using git:// doesn't offer any authentication of the server → unacceptable)
+31,642
Fix header levels
-16
30 April 2019
24 April 2019
→Update Available: Update outdatedness advisory
+1
Be more precise on space requirements
+115
→Optimus technology: Pure form update (no idea if the advice is still applicable)
m+43
→Disk usage: Rename section and update
+277
23 April 2019
→Advanced options: Update
+547
→Compiling last stable versions (Experimental): Remove “Experimental” from the title
-5
→Compiling last stable versions (Experimental): Update, clarify
+533
→Additional programs: ALL doesn't work at all as advertized (maybe it used to, but this hasn't been the case for years)
+243
Remove the TerraSync section: 1) run_terrasync.sh is not created anymore by d&c and 2) TS is built into FG (has been for years)
-577
Remove section “Fast updating” (UPDATE has been removed years ago and is the default mode of operation) and amend the previous warning (I wrote it for the now-removed section)
-169
→Options: Fix outdated contents
+498
→Compiling only one program: Outdatedness warning
+130
Add note for FGCom and warning for TerraSync (both integrated long ago in FG)
+296
→Instructions: Fix contents and slightly improve markup
+915
22 April 2019
Rewording to avoid repetition
m-1
Update references to FGMeta to use template or the dedicated wiki page (the template cannot be used for the wget commands, because it leaves ugly space above, below and to the left of the result, which looks completely out-of-place next to the other cmds)
-89
Correct "Download" section (d&c.sh is not in the main FG repo), add "See also" for other such scripts and put back category and translations links at the very end of the page (after the references)
+312
Normalize references and amend wording
m+46
21 April 2019
→When building Next you may see build errors: Update whole section
+1,011
→List of compiled programs: Update whole section (I'm not opposed to also removing most of the paragraph on HLA: redirecting to the page should be enough)
+1,205
