excellent work of clarification.
Happy New Year 2016.
Best regards.

Thanks. Open development is about scratching an itch. I refer to the compiling from source page often, so I had a vested interest in overhauling it. ;) The other two pages I've touched, how to use a nightly - lightly, and installing and configuring MinGW for Code::Blocks - heavily, are tightly coupled with the first page so those three I've done. I've poked around in other parts of the Wiki but I won't let myself significantly modify a page unless I understand what is behind it. So, I'm kind of searching for the next page at the moment. :) The Wiki is more extensive than it would seem at first glance but unfortunately there also appears to be a lot of information rot in it. There's a lot there but it just doesn't seem to have been kept up-to-date.
A model of an excellent Wiki is the: Arch Wiki. If the Code::Blocks Wiki could reach half the comprehensiveness of the Arch Wiki then it would be a true jewel to behold. That would be more than a one-person effort however, any volunteers? ;) Request an account! :D

You really did a good job. I know that the document part of C::B is really old. Not only the wiki, but also the Latex style C::B manual inside the svn repo: docs. For me, mostly of my time is focus on the code part of C::B. :)
Oh, look at the page: Code::Blocks download | SourceForge.net, it has two "Code" panels, one for SVN and one for Git. Who has enabled the Git?

Thank you. :) Like I said, I am going to be poking around until I find the next "right" page.
Edit: Didn't take long to find a topic that I can work with: Using Code::Blocks with a recent version of Visual Studio. The current Wiki's reference the 2003 toolset. I have Visual Studio 2015 Community installed so I have something concrete to test what I'm doing and then putting into the Wiki.

That was me experimenting with bridging between GIT and SVN at one host (sourceforge) but that doesn't work well... well in fact it does not work at all. I though it would be nice to have the "golden" GIT repo at SF that automatically synchronises with the SVN repo. But this use-case is not supported by SF.

Both wxWidgets 2.8.12, wxWidgets 3.0.2 and Codeblocks.cbp. I have not build CodeBlocks_wx30.cbp so I can't tell if it is necessary or not.

It is correct; just missing in wxWidgets 3.0.2 section, that's all.

Ok, done. The option is now said in all three places. Is there anything I should change about it or is it good?
