Some general guidelines when editing:
  1. To distinguish the homepage from other pages:
    • Use the "fancy title" on the homepage
      This is a "fancy title"
      • Don't use exclamation-mark headings on the homepage
    • On all other pages, use two and three exclamation-marks (!! and !!!) for major and minor headings respectively
  2. To ensure page consistency
    • Follow these guides:
      • Line Spacing
        • Don't leave blank lines before lists
        • Don't leave more than one blank line between headings, unless completely unrelated
      • Emphasis
      • Lists
  3. To ensure link consistency
    • How to name pages:
      • For date sensitive documents: 'yyyy-mm-dd Title Text'
      • For all other documents: 'Title Text'
      • Don't use the underscore, spaces work fine
      • Remember that the page name is also the heading!
  4. Be bold with edits!
    • Everything is saved, so don't worry
    • Just make sure to leave comments (Edit Summary) of notable changes so others could track them

Happy Editing!
