This is to set out the basic conventions on this wiki.
- Use categories instead of handcrafted lists to cut down on maintenance.
- Each page should have at least one category so that one can navigate to it from the list of contents.
- Category Contents is the top level category; use it sparingly.
- A page should not be in a category and its subcategory at the same time.
- Try to keep the style of the wiki uniform.
- Follow the Wikipedia style as appropriate. At least:
- An article about something should have a brief lead paragraph.
- The "References", "External links", and "See also" sections should be the last.
- Use only the talk pages for communication. It's OK to alert others to your contributions, but do not rely on emails as they are not visible to others on the wiki. Do not edit pages under the user pages of other.
That's it for now. We'll see how it develops. Thanks!
