Welcome to the official home of the WordPress documentation team.
This team is responsible for all things documentation, including the Codex (moving to HelpHub), handbooks, developer.wordpress.org, admin help, inline docs, and other general wordsmithing across the WordPress project.
Want to get involved?
We need your help keeping content current with each WordPress release and adding new content and screenshots to:
The Description, Syntax, and Parameters should be converted to inline docs in the function header. These inline docs are automatically converted and added to the Code Reference.
For our example, refer to this source code. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.2/src/wp-includes/plugin.php#L384. As you can see, the function header includes description and @since, @param and @return tags. Those tags form the Description, Syntax, and Parameters for this function and have been automatically added to the Code Reference.
All functions already have inline docs but not with the same level of information as the Codex. A lot of information was dropped during initial function header creation.
In the tracking spreadsheet, search for ‘Partially done’ rows using the Status column (Column H).
Enter your name in the Editor column (Column F) and change the Status column (Column H) to ‘In Progress’. If you don’t have write permission to the spreadsheet, please DM your Google account to @atachibana on #docs channel.
Open Codex page and Code Reference page and compare them
If Code Reference has full information of Codex, then OK
If Code Reference does not have some information, refer above Codex to Code Reference and migrate missing information on the Codex page to the Code Reference appropriately.
When you create a Ticket to modify the inline documentation, change the status to ‘Waiting’, and leave the ticket number in Notes (Column I).
If you cannot migrate every section, leave a comment in the Notes column (Column I) noting what’s left and change the Status to ‘Partially done’.
From the Codex page, click Edit on right side menu.
Put following message below the language locator, and comment out the current Codex contents using:
