Category:Draft

Except for this page (and its talk page), all pages on this wiki should be completely general and ready to start off any wiki. Please don't add personal user pages, or if you do, please regard them as temporary and likely to be deleted at any time. User pages and any pages used as a temporary holder for content, should be marked with Category:Draft so that they can be found and deleted.

The idea is that the whole of this wiki can be transferred to a new wiki to give a good start up package.

Things to consider

 * Keep off-wiki links to a minimum (including Central and Wikipedia links).
 * Use language suitable for those with no wiki experience. Keep jargon to a minimum.
 * If you add links, consider adding the linked page to the essential list (and creating the page) or leave the links off for the wiki community to add when ready.
 * Use terms and examples that are not wiki-specific,

Essential pages for any wiki

 * Main Page


 * Project:About


 * Text of the GNU Free Documentation License

Pages mentioned in the default mediawiki messages:

 * Project:Policy (MediaWiki:Blockiptext, MediaWiki:Confirmdeletetext)

 * Project:User preferences help (MediaWiki:Prefslogintext) - should be at Help:Preferences
 * Project:Protected page guidelines (MediaWiki:Protectedpagewarning
 * Project:Protected page (MediaWiki:Protectedtext) : can the defaults be changed to have this link to protected page guidelines also? I don't see the need for two.
 * Better the other way around I think.
