From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"
Dos and don'ts
" pages are
information pages
that summarize Wikipedia
policies
,
guidelines
, and
style
in bullet points. They present the
most important points
in a quick list, for the benefit of editors who are not inclined to read the full, authoritative guidance. They are especially useful for highlighting guidance that is unique to Wikipedia.
- To apply a standard format, use the template
{{
dodont
}}
.
- Keep bullets short ? for more information, users can always check the full guideline.
- Only include the most important and non-obvious points from the guideline.
- Try to keep the "dos" and "don'ts" lists the same length, with 5?8 bullets each.
- Bold and wikilink the key terms in each bullet.
- List the most important bullets at the top.
- Link to a relevant WikiProject, if one exists.
- Add the page to relevant Wikipedia namespace categories.
- Include the
{{
Help Project
}}
banner, and any other relevant WikiProject banners, on the talk page.
