First stab: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev

I don't know the Gentoo wiki's style policies, but I do know MediaWiki
reasonably well. I did take license to edit for language/linguistic
style, but not for substantive comment. Please go through and correct
anything that seems broken. It's almost 4:30AM where I am, and I
really ought to be sleeping, so I almost certainly mussed something
up. Pretty sure I switched styles about halfway through, too.

You should find the MediaWiki syntax reasonably accessible; just click
'edit' at the top of the page and compare what the 'raw' form looks
like with what the results look like.

MediaWiki.org has the best content. Generally, you'd play around in a
sandbox page of your own (on whatever wiki site you have an account
on) to get a feel for things.
