When [editing pages|TextFormattingRules] just keep the following rules in mind:
When [editing pages|WIKI.MARKUP BASICS] just keep the following rules in mind:
At line 4 removed one line
* Be nice - don't be rude or offensive.
At line 6 changed 5 lines
* Don't delete other people's contributions (unless you know what you are doing)
* Don't use too many acronyms (or at least, have a page explaining them)
* __Avoid the ''"click here"'' phrase!!__ Don't say: "More info about etiquette can be found [here|WikiEtiquette]" but use "More info about etiquette can be found at [WikiEtiquette]". I'd suggest avoiding it for external links as well.
* Contribute only original stuff. Links are fine, but don't cut-and-paste from copyrighted things.
* Correcting typos is quite okay - in fact, it's a very good habit, since it makes the web page more readable.
** __Avoid the ''"click here"'' phrase!!__ Don't say: "More info about etiquette can be found [here|WIKI.ETIQUETTE]" but use "More info about etiquette can be found at [WIKI.ETIQUETTE]". I'd suggest avoiding it for external links as well.

!!About comments
!Wiki Page names
* In this Wiki the links are written using the [[link] notation. That is a page is referenced within ~[ and ~] brackets. The page name is case sensitive, as far as its indexing goes, and if you are on a case-sensitive operating system, there will be different pages for WikiEtiquette and WIKIEtiquette.
At line 14 changed 3 lines
* You are free to contribute anonymously, but it is preferred that you sign your comments with your name (or handle). It is common to prepend the signature with '--' like this: ''-- [Janne Jalkanen]'' (While you're at it, you are free to create your own wikipage and tell us about yourself.)
* A good way is also to put your name first, like this: ''[Janne Jalkanen] : I'd like to say that...''
* Think before you comment. [WikiWiki] is not a high-speed conversation board. It's not a news server either. What you say will stay here forever (if you delete your comment, it is still in the previous version of the page) for everyone to see and comment.
* A Wiki Page Name can not be a number. Numeric names are used for [footnotes|WIKI.MARKUP BASICS#Footnotes].
At line 18 changed 6 lines
!!Creating WikiNames
* A good [WikiName] is short and descriptive. If the name is logical and easy many more people will link to it.
* Although you can take a whole sentence and crunch it up to make a [WikiName], it is better style to restrain it to at most 5 words.
* Instead, try to use [WikiName]s like you would use as chapter titles in a book.
* This Wiki allows you to create pages with a single word as a name, but try to use at least two words - we don't want to exhaust the name space :-).
* __Double-check [WikiName]s for typos__ - otherwise someone will create a misnamed page! Misnamed pages are bad, since linking to them requires more effort than to a logical, correct [WikiName].
!Writing text
* You don't need to know anything about the Wiki text [formatting rules|WIKI.MARKUP BASICS] to use Wiki (called a markup language). Just write normal text, and then use an empty line to mark a paragraph.
* It's just like writing an email. there is a powerful formatting capability, and a WYSIWYG toolbar to help you with the common ones (if you wish to use it). You don't have to know HTML or anything fancy like that to make things useful.
At line 25 changed one line
!!Refactoring pages
!Conflicts
* If someone happens to edit the same page as you at the same time, The Wiki will prevent you from doing changes and show a conflict page instead. Sorry to say, but the first one to make changes wins...
At line 27 changed 2 lines
Refactoring is the process where you sum up a page, shortening it, making it more accessible. Anyone who feels up to it may go ahead, but we suggest that you
leave it up to frequent (experienced) visitors.
* __A word of warning:__ If you use the Back button of your browser to go into the Edit page, you will almost certainly get a conflict. This is because the browser thinks it's still editing an earlier copy of the page.
At line 30 changed 6 lines
* Be objective - both pros and cons have to be represented correctly.
* Be careful with signed contributions - don't change their meaning.
* Give credit where credit is due.
* Use 3rd person or plural instead 1st person singular in your summary.
(Thanks to [Sensei's library|http://senseis.xmp.net/] for this initial text.)
!Discussion Page etiquette
* It is preferred if you sign your comments with your name, so that if clarification is sought, it is known who should be asked.
* Please don't correct or remove someone else's comments - this would be the domain of the editors, once the discussion has been incorporated into the main page body.
