Editing & Conventions

This page describes lightweight conventions for adding and maintaining wiki entries. The goal is consistency without making writing feel heavy.

Page Template

Most pages work well with this structure:

  • Summary: 1–3 sentences describing what the page is.
  • Details: bullets, tables, or short paragraphs.
  • Examples (optional): a concrete example or two.
  • See also: links to related pages.

Naming

  • Use clear titles (“Caching Overview”, “Writing Checklist”, “API Reference”).
  • Avoid internal jargon unless you define it on the page.

Linking

  • Add links when you reference another concept that has (or should have) its own page.
  • Prefer one canonical page per topic; link to it rather than duplicating.

Categories & Tags

Library entries support categories and optional tags. Prefer a small set of stable categories and use tags for finer grouping.

Maintenance

  • If you change page titles, check for broken links.
  • If you rename or merge pages, leave a short note in the destination page so readers understand what happened.
