Standardization will help when it comes to the Overhaul. This allows users to disseminate information better.

  • DO limit pages to a single subject.
    If you feel you are defining terms, please move them to a new, separate page and link the term to the new page.
  • DON'T duplicate similar concepts.
    If a subject seems too close to another subject, determine if both pages are talking about the same thing.
  • DO put sub-concepts in underlying directories.
    If you have Standardization in the Overhaul, link it to Overhaul/Standardization so that the structure of moving up the chain can be respected.
  • DON'T put references to single, unique events.
    If you had to deal with an issue on the Waze Map Editor on Par Street, don't give an example and a link to Par Street. Instead, give a theoretical example about the issue, and how it should be handled.
  • DO put disclaimer for dangerous ideas
    If you suggest ways to fix an issue, such as rooting a phone, be sure to put a warning before the suggestion about the complications for doing such things.
  • DO capitalize first letters of page names
    When naming pages, the first letter in page names should be capitalized. After that, only lower case unless you are referencing a person's name.
  • DO suggest other pages when possible to look at, but at the bottom of the page
  • DON'T just link a page, include the base page URL at least, or a short description of the linked page.
    For example, if you link a Youtube Video for a Tutorial, you should put "Tutorial Video on Youtube.com" for the description of the link.
  • DON'T add tonal changes to the text.
    If it sounds like you are pissed, annoyed, or happy, people are less willing to read it because of the emotion involved.
