The Wiki Way More About This Book

• Write factual information.

• Give concrete advice.

• Use the ThirdPerson?Create when possible
  • Dialog, exchanges and sentences full of "I" (see ThreadMode?Create) are not easily reduced to facts or advice (see DocumentMode?Create).

• Place words where they are easy to read, which isn't always at the bottom.

• Edit pages to emphasize the flow of ideas, not the chronology of contribution. Stay OnTopic?Create for the page.

• Use fewer words.

• Use language you'd be comfortable reading out loud - use vs utilize - and keep it simple. Simple language often communicates better.

• The server has very simple TextFormattingRules . Start each line without spaces and separate paragraphs with a blank line. You can run capitalized words together to make HyperLink?Creates.

• Finally, don't say things that are designed to make others mad. Practice civility and understatement. You will reach ten times as many readers, even if you miss the ones you want to annoy.
