Content Criteria and writing guidelines
Cite your sources
Much of the content in this wiki exists on other official Evergreen web pages. Please provide links to the original sources of content when at all possible.
Keep it simple
This wiki is about communicating information. The more simply and straightforwardly the information is presented, the more readily it will be understood by a broad audience.
Format text for scan-ability
Often a numbered or bulleted list is easier to absorb than a dense paragraph.
Categorize it!
To make it easy for people to find you article, make sure to add it to the appropriate category(s). For a complete listing of existing categories see Special:Categories. If your article does not fit in any of the existing categories feel free to create the appropriate category. If this needs to be linked off of the home page you can contact Amy Greene.
