Best Practices
- Do not create pages in the root (:) namespace
- Try to use existing namespaces (see index if necessary) for new pages
- When creating namespaces, use short singular names (e.g. “person”, not “people”)
- When creating namespaces, create a namespace:index page with a list of child pages/namespaces
- Tip: use the nslist or indexmenu plugin for dynamic child listings
- Begin page with H1 section (page title in Normal Title Case) and a summary of the page
- End with an H2 “See Also” section that, at minimum, points back to the parent namespace
- Use the “discussion” tab (talk page) for page discussions
- Use your user page for experimentation (not playground or sandbox)
