“WikiEtiquette” is about pin pointing some rules to follow when editing pages on Wiki.
Some general Wiki rules may include: writing clearly, avoid deleting others contributions, avoiding the “click here phrase”, don’t copy and paste others content unless given permission, correcting typos, and being polite and courteous.
Comments are welcome on Wiki. You should always sign your comments on Wiki, you might want to link your signature to your page, if you haven’t already. Also think about what you are going to write before commenting on others page, you never know what you write might be on the site for quite some time.
When thinking of a WikiName you want something short, descriptive, easy, logical, more like a short title, and try and make it at least two words if possible. Always double check your WikiName for typos!
If you are looking to refactor a page you are looking at a process to sum up a page by shortening it to make it more accessible. This process is usually left up to the more experienced Wiki visitors. Some things to consider when refactoring a page is to look at both sides, be careful not to change their meaning, always give credit where credit is due, and use plural instead of singular in your summary.
