• There are some conventions for making sure the Wiki remains organized.
  • Try to use the Image naming convention.
• You might want to take a look at
  • the requested but yet empty pages
  • the Cookie jar: a list of pages that have been categorised as being small, well-defined tasks that require minimal commitment to complete
  • Category:Articles that require a review (also awaiting a copy editor)
  • Category:Articles for which information is required: you may be the one that knows certain details
  • Category:Articles that could be improved: these are not quite as good as they could be
  • Landing pages: pages that match important keywords used by people using search engines to find documentation.
• Pages that define terms can be added to the Glossary category by adding [[Category:Glossary]] at the end of the page.
