Wiki hints

As we create new wiki pages and categories, some words of advice:
* Don't use title case for pages. This can confuse searches sometimes,
and runs counter to what people expect from Wikipedia (arguably the
most popular wiki in the world).
INCORRECT: My New Page (OK, this is just a bad name!) :-)
CORRECT: My new page
The same goes for categories and any other pages.
* If you want to *redirect* to a category page, use a colon before the
category name in the redirect link. (This works for any page in
another namespace, although the effect is important in the case of
the Category: namespace.)
INCORRECT: #REDIRECT [[Category:Foo]] (this actually puts the
page in the category!)
CORRECT: #REDIRECT [[:Category:Foo]]
Hope this helps!
