<h3>Wireless Wiki Guidelines</h3>

This wiki is currently open for editing - but please take a little consideration before editing. Here are some guidelines that might help this wiki to develop in a positive direction:

<h4>formal</h4>
* When starting a new node, spend a second thought on the title. Try to make it as closely related to the content as possible. You can have long titles, this wiki supports spaces in titles - f.e. "Two_Words".
* Make use of [[Howto_Wiki| wiki formatting]] to increase readibility. Paragraph headlines help a lot, for example. Also, look for formatting ideas in other articles.
* Take a look at [[Howto_Categories]] and see where your article might fit in.
* Before making non-trivial changes on an existing article, consider using the "Discuss this page" link on the bottom of every page. It will open a seperate page on which issues might be resolved collectively.
* Always preview before submitting!
* Make use of the "Summary" line on the bottom of the editing box. It makes the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] page a lot more useful.

<h4>content</h4>
* Before adding content, check if somebody has already written something about it.
* Make sense - write so that people can understand, be careful with acronyms or cryptic language.
* When writing howto's or explanatory texts consider putting a short one or two sentence summary on the top.
* Don't discriminate or offend other people.
* Make use of offensive language only where absolutely needed.
