 Here are some tips on how to write a good wiki page. Here are some tips on how to write a good wiki page.
  
-===== Page naming conventions =====+===== Naming conventions =====
  
-  * Namespaces +This applies to page names, tag names and media filenames: 
-    * Use only lowercase alphanumeric characters and '-'. + 
-    * Use '-' (dash) to replace spaces. +  * Use only lower case alpha numeric characters and '-'. 
-  * Page Names +  * Use '-' (dash) to replace spaces. 
-    * Use only lower case alpha numeric characters and '-'. +  * Don't start a name with a special character. 
-    * Use '-' (dash) to replace spaces.+  * Ditch articles (i.e. 'the', 'a' and 'an') unless they're absolutely necessary, especially if the name is more than 20 characters long. By default, Dokuwiki doesn't index them or any word less than three characters long, so all they do is lengthen the resulting URL.
  
  
 ===== Organization ===== ===== Organization =====

Please contact [[[email protected]|the wiki mod]] if you create a page in a namespace by mistake so it can be fixed. By default, neither new users nor editors have the access to create pages or upload images in anything other than the root namespace.

 ===== Links ===== ===== Links =====
 +
 +Avoid writing simple internal links, e.g.:
 +
 +  [[nonnywork]]
 +  [[nonnywork#poetry]]
 +  [[wiki:syntax]]
 +
 +At the minimum, please make sure internal links have //link text//, like so:
 +
 +  [[nonnywork|stuff made by meme]]
 +  [[nonnywork#poetry|meme poetry]]
 +  [[wiki:syntax|syntax page]]
 +  
 +This is purely to make page renames and other administrative stuff easier. It also means that editing a link doesn't mean needing to change the text the page displays.
