We don't have any hard-and-fast rules, but we do have a few suggestions that will help keep things easily navigable.

  • We need content! Check the Wanted Pages and Stubs lists to see if there's anything you can contribute, and to make sure you use page names that match existing links.
  • If you want to create a page about yourself, use your automatically-created user page, accessible by clicking the head icon in the top left and then your name in the menu below.
  • Create wiki links with brackets and standard spacing, [[like this]] rather than running words together ("WikiWords"). MediaWiki is built to have wiki links with natural spacing, anything else just introduces extra aliases, usually.
  • Use categories liberally. If you think it makes sense to have a category that doesn't exist, feel free to create it!
