= Help On Contributing New Wiki Page =
Explains steps for creating, maintaining, and sharing a wiki page.
== Goals of Wiki Content ==
* '''Owned'''
. To be ''owned'' by an individual who is responsible for making sure the page is up-to-date and relevant. To own a page, just make sure that its path is underneath your HOMEPAGE.
* '''Findable'''
. To be ''findable'' by the appropriate audience(s) without having to resort to a Search.
* '''Modifiable'''
. To be ''modifiable'' so that it can "live", "evolve", "transfer to another owner", or "die" as necessary to best reflect its useful purpose.
== Steps ==
1. Determine page location
* Pick a location underneath your HOMEPAGE (you will then own it)
* Don't worry that it may need to live (or be owned) by somebody else in the future
* Organize your pages to fit your own work processes and habits
1. Create the page
* Manually using the browser
== Optional Steps ==
* Categorize the page
(!) Make it easy for others to find without resorting to ''Search''<
>
(!) !MoinMoin categories are similar to Tags
1. Determine one or more appropriate categories.
* Choose from existing categories
* Or create your own

* Syntax:
{{{
Category
}}}
* Type the category name at the bottom of the page
{{{
= My Page Title =
All my content here.
.
.
.
----
. CategoryFoobar
}}}
* Make sure that it is not already there which may be the case if you copied or created the page from a template.
* (!) You can use more than one category
* Make a unique and permanent link for the page
(!) Maybe you want to publish the link in a blog or other system?
1. Decide upon a unique name (for a new page)
* Plan on this name being relevant for a long time
* Try to make the name self explanatory
1. Create new page underneath [[Permalinks]] with the following contents:
