How to Make a Killer Wiki Page

<< Back to RickVanderveer

Creating a killer wiki page is very much like designing any other web page (or any other document, for that matter). A little extra thought and care you put into the page, the better and more usable that page will be.

A common mistake is to simply paste in a bunch of content from another source and click save. This often makes a page that's harder to read because much of the formatting may not have been preserved in translation (so you may get a giant page with no paragraph breaks, or your bulleted lists disappeared, etc). This would be like sending a client an document written in notepad.exe. A little formatting can go a long way in making a page more readable.

Similarly, don't let your page become a "dead-end" because there are no links to go to related pages. Wiki pages are just regular web pages-- they should almost always have links to related information within the wiki or even to a related site on the Internet.

Every wiki page should follow these simple guidelines:
