Software Infocard Wiki contains both formatted software product information and custom user input. Formatted product data cannot be edit directly via the Wiki interface. In order to submit a product or make changes to its infocard, you need to have your product published in the PAD Repository. The Wiki is using the PAD Repository API to add/update software infocards.

PAD files can be created and published using the PAD Publisher Control Panel. Make sure that your PAD is actually published to the repository.

Do I need to notify Software Infocard Wiki about an updated PAD?

No, you don't. Software Infocard Wiki receives all updates automatically using the PAD Repository API.
