Where are we going to post general editing guidelines? One example of a policy I know from wikipedia (and agree with) is that in your articles, don't make anything level 1 (like <nowiki>= Section =</nowiki>). This is because the article names themselves are already at that level, so any sections you make should be contained within that. Would be nice to establish some guidelines, so we don't have to reformat a whole slew of articles in the future. --[[User:Gregturn|Gregturn]] 18:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC) | Where are we going to post general editing guidelines?

This page will be for semi-threaded discussions about the topic suitable for the Community Portal; as we reach concensus about various topics, we'll transpose that information to the article page.
Please use the "+" tab up top there if you're adding an as-yet unaddressed topic, so you'll automagically get a subject header.
Tagging pages for deletion
Not everyone has deletion power. I have scrubbed some page titles based on the import job, and came up with a template Template:Ready for deletion that can used to mark pages ready for deletion. It will put in a little text, and then put that article into Category:Articles Ready for Deletion. In some cases (like a REDIRECT page), I had to put that on the Talk page. We need a way a top level link to get to that category, so the sysops can get in and approve deletion requests. --Gregturn 19:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- We can actually just go to the list of categories, but I agree that there needs to be something to remind us, and as I assemble administrator-y links, that's one I'll put on. Thanks, Greg.
