+ | * Be constructive! Think of the problem - and think of it's solution! | ||
+ | * But think of the reader, too! | ||
+ | * Don't hesitate! Better write down something quickly than thinking too much and forgetting to write it down. Put drafts into your userspace (see below). | ||
+ | * Be open to (early or late) changes to your contribution; don't blame others, think of the best solution to the problem | ||
+ | * If nobody contributes, maybe it's good; if myriads of people change your contribution, it might be better | ||
+ | * The real measure of a page is the number of page accesses shown at the bottom. To get a higher number of accesses add relevant links to your content and add categories! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | valign="top" | '''Creating Pages''' | ||
+ | | colspan=2 valign="top" | | ||
+ | * when doing '''drafts''', do those on your User-page. Use it as your sandbox. see for example [[User:B_michaelsen]], esp. the staging area. You are not required to add tight categories and context links on your userpage. | ||
+ | * Think hard about the '''title''' of the page, its very important for search. Avoid Typos in the title! | ||
+ | * You should make the content easy to find. | ||
+ | * Embed your contribution into existing content | ||
+ | *: Link to your page from as many related pages as possible to provide the needed context and to prevent duplication. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | valign="top" | '''Deleting Pages''' | ||
+ | | colspan=2 valign="top" | | ||
+ | * To '''delete''' a page (because it is spam or outdated), replace its content with <code><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></code> | ||

+ | | valign="top" | '''Links & URLs''' | ||
+ | | colspan=2 valign="top" | | ||
+ | * Always use Wiki-Links or [[Wikipedia:Interwikimedia_link|InterWiki-Links]] when possible | ||
+ | *: Dont use HTTP links, when Wiki-Links or InterWiki-Links are possible. HTTP links do not show up in "What links here" list for example, making pages [[Special:LonelyPages|orphans]] easily. InterWiki-Links are easy to update, if a Wiki changes its base-URL. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | valign="top" | '''Categories''' | ||
+ | | colspan=2 valign="top" | | ||
+ | * Always add new pages a existing category | ||
+ | *: This is very important to keep the wiki maintainable. Non-english content should always be sorted in the category of the language (or one of its subcategories). If you want to create a new category, you will need to add that to an existing category too (making it a subcategory). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | valign="top" | '''Namespaces''' | ||
+ | | colspan=2 valign="top" | | ||
+ | * Use the available namespaces: | ||
+ | * Your bio should be on your [[User:YourLogin|userpage]]. You may redirect to it from the main-namespace. | ||
+ | * Categories should be described in the [[:Category:MainIndex|Category-namespace]]. You may redirect to those from the main-namespace. | ||
+ | * Also use the Talk:-namespace to discuss pages and explain why you wrote something. | ||
+ | * '''Never redirect to the main-namespace from the category- or the user-namespace.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | valign="top" | '''Advanced''' | ||
+ | | colspan=2 valign="top" | | ||
+ | * Use [[:Category:Wiki_Templates|Wiki templates]]! | ||
+ | * [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Transclusion|Transclusion]] is great. Use it! | ||
+ | * If your page shows up in the [[Special:SpecialPages|Maintenance reports]], you likely did something wrong | ||
