Here are a few guidelines we ask everyone to follow on this Wiki, with the aim of avoiding stepping on toes:

  • Search for pages before creating a new one
  • Make sure your links work
  • Don't leave blank pages without a declaration that you are intending to come back at some point to do it - and do so! (Each page has a discussion page which is intended for discussion about the content of that page: changes suggested, work in progress, etc)
  • Check the history of a page before making any changes and be sensitive about editing other people's work
  • If you are about to make some more significant changes (e.g. entirely rewrite an important page, or change the category structure), send a mail (to Central) saying so. That way you can flush out people who might also be intending to do that, also find people who might want to review the changes
  • Mail folk in the history to ask if they want to review your changes
  • Remember this wiki has categories (the filing system for all these pages) so please use them


You can find a list of categories via the toolbox on the left - Special Pages > List of Pages > Categories
