Some guidelines for using and creating new pages on OpenOffice.org's wiki
+
 
+
== Intro ==
+
 
+
Information that cannot be found has no value. It is therefore imperative to make every information present on the wiki as accessible as possible to the broadest audience, both professionals and casual wiki readers.
+
 
+
There are a number of steps that should be followed in order to make the information on the wiki more accessible:
+
* allow easy navigation by linking your wiki-pages using:
+
** direct links from top-pages
+
** page categories
+
** subpages / hierarchical structures
+
* easy recognition of page content
+
* structuring the page itself
+
 
+
More formal [[User_Experience/SOP|Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)]] are available as drafts. The final (aproved) versions shall be binding for everyone.

+
 
+
== Headings ==
+
H1 is used for the title of a wiki page. Therefore it is better to start with "== Heading 2 ==" for your own content.
+
+
== Categories ==
+
Categorize your pages. Choose a category from [[Special:Categories]] that makes sense, and apply it by adding <nowiki>[[Category:Whatever]]</nowiki> to your page. You can add more than one category to your page.
+
 
+
;Example
+
:''Category:Project'' collects all "home pages" for OOo's projects.
+
 
+
== Sub Folders ==
+
If you choose a name for your wiki page that conforms to the style "maintopic/subtopic" (mind the slash!), then you create a page that is automatically linked back to the page called maintopic. Sub folders are very useful for organising related content in a traditional way, and a hierarchical structure allows better search in specific areas of the wiki.
+
 
+
;Example
+
:[[MediaWiki Extension/Use Cases]] is a subpage to [[MediaWiki Extension]]
+
