<br />
This page provides advice and information<br />
for prospective editors of the guide.<br />
Please familiarize yourself with these notes<br />
before embarking on any substantive editing.<br />
<br />
=== Conventions ===<br />
<br />
The guide has a number of [[Pr4_UG_mi_Conventions|conventions]]<br />
which help to keep it tidy and organized.<br />
Please try to follow these when editing and/or creating pages.<br />
<br />
=== Language ===<br />
<br />
The guide is primarily written in English,<br />
but there is no presumption that this is the reader's native tongue.<br />
So, try to avoid informal usage, slang, etc.<br />
<br />
It is also a good idea to keep sentences and paragraphs short.<br />
Long sentences can be difficult to understand,<br />
even if they are punctuated correctly.<br />
Don't make the reader struggle with language issues;<br />
the material itself is challenging enough.<br />
<br />
For many readers, unfamiliar concepts and vocabulary<br />
will be one of the hardest parts of learning how to use {{#var:Pr4}}.<br />
So, if you use a technical term,<br />
consider adding a [[Pr4_UG_mi_Glossary|Glossary]] link.<br />
If there is no definition for the term, add one!<br />
<br />
=== MediaWiki ===<br />
<br />
The guide is based on [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki],<br />
the wiki software that supports [{{#var:wp}} Wikipedia].<br />
Although the guide does not currently make much use of the<br />
[http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki]<br />
extension, this situation is expected to change as the guide develops.<br />
