+====== Best Practices ======
+Follow these guidelines when editing the wiki.
+===== How to Use DokuWiki ====
+[[https://www.dokuwiki.org/manual|DokuWiki Manual]]
+[[https://www.dokuwiki.org/screencast|Video Tutorials]]
+===== Creating Pages =====
+[[https://www.dokuwiki.org/page|DokuWiki Page Manual]]
+  * Begin page with H1 section.
+    * Capitalize the page title properly. Unsure? Use AMA style at: [[https://capitalizemytitle.com/|Capitalize My Title]]
+    * Add a summary of the page after the title.
+  * End the page with an H2 "See Also" section that, at a minimum, has a link back to the parent page.
+  * Use the "discussion" tab (talk page) for page discussion.
+    * Do not write comments onto the actual page.
+  * Use your user page for experimentation.
+    * Do not experiment on the page, and don't experiment in the playground or sandbox.
+===== Namespaces =====
+Namespaces are the wiki sections that pages live in.
+[[https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|DokuWiki Namespace Manual]]
+  * Create pages in the proper namespace.
+    * Do not create pages in the root (:) namespace
+  * Try to use existing namespaces for new pages (see: [[wiki:site_index|index]]).
+  * If you must create a new namespace
+    * Use short singular names (e.g., "person", not "people").
+    * Create a namespace:index page with a list of child pages/namespaces.
+    * Tip: use the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:nslist|nslist]] or [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:indexmenu|indexmenu]] plugin for dynamic child listings.
+===== Tagging =====
+Tag your pages using the tag [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tag|plugin]].
+  * Page tags should be:
+    * Lowercase
+    * Singular, not plural
+    * Have a tag for overall page topic (e.g., fidonet, mail_server)
+    * Have a tag for the type of page (e.g., customization, development)
