P.S. And also, http://wiki.dlang.org/Pull_Requests and http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD, which needs some Windows-specific instructions.

Pedantic question: Title casing for page titles or regular casing?

Personally, I prefer regular casing so that you can just write [[wiki links]] without needing [[Vertical Bar|vertical bar]]s. But some of the existing redlinks are title-cased, so I just followed the convention.

But, if we can agree on one convention, then we should all adopt that. Perhaps we should create a page in the meta section so that everyone will know what the "official" wiki conventions are.

I never needed to use "pull --ff-only", all I do to rebase is "git pull --rebase upstream master", it never messed with my history as far as I'm aware.

I got some windows instructions done quick and dirty. The page still needs some work, but at least that's done.

Looks like Quickfur got Pull Requests done.

Why does the Phobos_coding_conventions page even exist? Just link to http://dlang.org/dstyle.html

That page still needs a few tweaks, but it's much more up-to-date than it used to be, and it's the official style guide. I see no reason to duplicate that information on the wiki.
