How to...

Comment on a page

Please leave comments on the page's discussion page, not the page itself.

Ask a question

Asking a question is like leaving a comment, but it increases the chances than an editor will read your question and possibly answer it in the wiki.

You can put a question in the article at the location you think answering text would be appropriate. The question won't show up in the page; instead, all questions asked this way will be listed at Project:Questions, where editors can see them. Just edit the page and add a line like

{{Question | How can Gobo be so awesome?}}

at the appropriate place.

Request additional content

See: Ask a question (above).

Create a new page

If it is obvious where a page should be linked in, go ahead and create the link, and then create the page. Please add the page to the correct category (see below), but please do not set the last-reviewed date. This will help the category editor find and review your page.

Add/move a page to a category

Please use the category templates to add the page to a category.

Todo: insert example of categorizing page

If you move a page to a new category, please do not set the last reviewed date. Instead, leave it blank. That will help the category editor to find and review the page.

Moderate or contribute to a page in the Discussions category

Should discussion pages use both the article page and the discussion page? The article page could lay out the topic that is being discussed. Each such discussion would need a moderator who would read the discussion page and update the article page accordingly.
