To align wikis requires dealing with
data formats and any
nesting incompatibilities. A number of
wiki best practices align wikis to non-wikis and simplify the task:
As these
page names indicate,
- every page name containing advice is a verb phrase
- no use of "+" to mean "space", only standard "_"
- no use of uppercase, and yes it's case-sensitive, so you can
link within a sentence very easily - standard verbs like "align" and "ignore" used especially for very abstract concerns where verbs might proliferate unless closely controlled, e.g.
align wiki to mindset which employs
twelve levers terms - where one piece of advice has another as a very clear pre-requisite, the name of the more advanced advice redirects to the name of the basic advice, so you can tell someone to
nest wikis and there is no chance that they won't understand that's a consequence of trying to
align wiki to goals more narrowly
To
adopt Wikipedia names is another best practice required to align wikis easily.
To align wikis is a tricky expert job of the
wiki trade (one of the
infra trades). Without expert help, it's still possible to
copy the conventions of
eg:itself, adopt
wiki best practices and
watch for new articles. The
portal:editors use is optimized specifically for this use of
eg:itself. This lets experts share what they feel must be shared, while making it much easier for people to pay for shared advice, and more for private advice.
