-====== Wiki contribution guidelines ======
-These are guidelines for how to contribute to the wiki in a way that is most efficient and effective, without causing more work for the admin, who's fussy and particular :-D.  I get that we're all anarchists and whatnot, but it makes sense to have a method to adding content to the wiki in a 'standard' way so stuff just slots together and it's not messy.
-This page is work in progress, I'll add stuff here as I decide on it / as I work out what works best.
-===== Creating pages =====
-If a page doesn't exist that you feel would be useful or is required, then search for it even though it doesn't exist (search for the specific name you want the page to be called i.e. in its url) and then click the name in the search blurb to open the edit page for the new file. Once saved, make sure you add it to the [[sidebar|Sidebar page]] if it's something that should go there (i.e. not just a [[fediverse|quick note on what the fediverse is]], for example).
-===== Content in pages =====
-Pages start with their name--- this page is called wiki_contribution_guidelines, and the header reflects this. Use "======" (H1, six equals signs) size headers. Further headers are smaller (one size below the parents header)
-When breaking topics up in pages (H2 level headers), place a bar (----) above the header, expect above the first H2 header when there is no text between it and the page header (the H1).
-----
-Try to keep things tidy, and stick to the methods you already see in place! :-)
