Help:Editing rules

Here is a simple set of rules that you should use:

1. Before starting a new article: search the wiki to check if there is already an article
2. If a content exists under an other name:
   • use redirection IFF you feel that your concept should have its own entry
   • else use complex links like [[link | your label]]
3. New articles:
   • Never use capital letters except for the very first one (the only exception are proper names). Good: Educational theory - Bad: Educational Theory
   • Use singular (e.g. theory, not theories)
   • No articles (bad: "the xy theory ...", good: "xy theory")
4. Structure of articles:
   • Use titles, e.g. == Level 1 == , === Level 2 ===, etc.
   • Insert at least one category at the end, e.g. [[Category:XYZ]]
   • You may suggest new categories if needed ! (Categories are auto-creating, we will decide together if we keep yours ...).
5. Links: use complex links when need, do not use: "(see here)".
   • Bad "this is a frequent statement in behaviorist theory" (see [Behaviorism)."
   • Good: "this is a frequent statement in behaviorist theory".
6. One article = one topic, i.e. create new pages for topics that are relevant to other articles.
   • Note: There is a system to compose articles from several pages if needed.
7. Images:
   • To insert an image use [[Image:xxx.png]]
   • Please add a description for images that you upload
   • Indicate the source ! and date insertion time
   • Note: Five (~~~~~ will do the trick
8. Your opinions:
   • If they may be controversial, use your Wiki user ID
   • Three ~~~ insert your user ID.
