Wiki Creation and Maintenance
Page Structure Requirements
Every page needs: clear title, one-sentence summary, last-updated date
Use consistent templates across all pages (same sections, same order)
Keep pages focused: one topic per page, split when exceeding ~500 words
Include Getting Started page that maps the entire wiki structureWriting Guidelines
Write for zero-context readers — never assume prior knowledge
Write procedures as numbered steps, not paragraphs
Include examples and diagrams wherever possible — wikis without examples are just glossaries
Mark uncertain content explicitly — use "[needs verification]" or "[outdated]" tagsLinking and Organization
Cross-link aggressively — every mention of another concept should link to its page
Use categories/tags for discoverability beyond the link graph
Create redirect pages when renaming — never break existing links
Maintain link integrity when restructuring contentContent Maintenance
When updating information, update ALL pages that reference it (grep for mentions)
Maintain a changelog or "recently updated" page for team visibility
Regular content audits — mark outdated information before it misleads
Enforce consistent formatting across all contributorsQuality Control
Review new pages for template compliance and link accuracy
Periodic cleanup of orphaned pages and broken internal links
Version control for tracking changes and reverting mistakes
