Keeping things tidy (hierarchical structured pages)
- Aside from the necessary etiquette, users should try keep their pages as tidy as possible. Not only the content within the pages, but also the location of said pages.
- Here's an example:
- Imagine my user name is Bio Engineer and therefore my user page URI is:
(Please assume http://openwetware.org/wiki/ as a prefix to all the following URIs)
- Imagine my user name is Bio Engineer and therefore my user page URI is:
User:Bio_Engineer
This address is my User Page where I'll place all my up-to-date information and also all the links to pages that I create or that I think others might find interesting related to me and my work (in or outside the wiki).
- Pages that I create should remain within my namespace and not elsewhere (unless they belong to another namespace like a lab or a group. So, I create this page for this cool new idea I have and I place it within my namespace, like so:
User:Bio_Engineer/Cool_idea
- In a nutshell, you end up with something similar to this:
- <html><pre>
User:Bio_Engineer |- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_1
|- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_1/Subpage_1a
|- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_2
|- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_2/Subpage_2a |- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_2/Subpage_2b </pre>
</html>
Why use such a hierarchical scheme?
- There are a few good reasons to use such a scheme.
