User:A3li/Article Guidelines

Introduction
This page contains a few guidelines you should follow when contributing to our Wiki. The list is not meant to be exhaustive, as we trust you use common sense wherever possible.

Guidelines

 * Don't duplicate the official Gentoo documentation.
 * This includes especially the Gentoo Handbook. Having two copies or similar versions of the same content will eventually lead to inconsistencies.


 * Don't create short articles you will fill in later.
 * Such ultra-short stubs don't look nice, neither are they useful. Please use a page in your user space, for instance User:Name/Postfix to start a draft of your article on Postfix. You can rename it later on using the "move" functionality in the toolbar.
 * Don't create link lists
 * Our Wiki is a place for verbatim explanations of various topics, not a link list. Search engines and web directories are much better at providing up-to-date links pertaining to a topic. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a set of 'see also' links at the end of an article to point readers who want even more information than what is available in the article in the right direction.
