Thank you, and agreed.
Alright, after the last two days, here is what I've done and I think
this makes sense for all of us as a great compromise:
I moved the "Integrate, Don't Duplicate" that littlegirl mentioned from
my "Draft" Page to [[/PageCreation]] and then cleaned it up. I also
added, as an additional reference, a link to HelpOnPageCreation. You
can see the finished product here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/PageCreation
I moved the text from "Delete and Rename" on /PageCreation into the
article [[DeletingAndRenaming]] I did so because I did not think it was
appropriate, or necessary, to even mention deleting pages while taking
about creating them. After doing so, I now think the
DeletingandRenaming page actually reads better than it did previously.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/DeletingAndRenaming
Regarding the WikiGuide itself, I realized that there was NO link to the
IconsPage, so I added one.
As for our discussion on how to present the formatting wiki markup code,
I think I came up with a compromise that we can all agree on. I ended
up leaving the link to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/Formatting. Then, on
[[/Formatting]], I used the "Include" feature of the wiki to "Include"
the artilce [[HelpOnEditing
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnEditing?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=linkto%3A%22HelpOnEditing%22>]]
as I thought that was the most thorough and more organized of the two
articles in question.
I hope this is a valid compromise that we can all agree on.
I would finally like to recommend that we have something similar to the
menus we are using on the TeamWiki on top of the following pages to show
that they are all related:
[[WikiGuide]], [[DeletingandRenaming]], [[/PageCreation]], [[Tag]],
[[WritingGuide]]
