I'm going to try to integrate it a bit with the other editing

pages. Here's a very sketchy outline of the responsibilities (let me
know if I missed any):
Help:Editing - Basic information on how to edit on the Fedora Wiki,
prominent links to other pages
Help:Wiki_syntax_and_markup - Describes syntax from neutral POV
We don't need to worry too much about NPOV rules here, but I guess they
wouldn't hurt.
Help:Style_guide - Style rules, especially for things that are unique
to Fedora
Help:Wiki_rules_and_etiquette - Guidelines for friendly user
interaction and how to make appropriate edits
Help:Wiki_structure - Describes the organization between pages.
AFAIK, this is more or less how it is now, so my work would be
shifting content so it's in the right place. For example, some
organizational stuff in my guide seems better suited to live in the
Wiki_structure page. It also seems like Karsten's link to marking up
technical terms is better suited to being in the style guide.
I wonder as well if these pages could be renamed in the interests of
consistency. The easiest one would be to rename Style_guide to
Wiki_style_guide. However, I wonder if the "Wiki" is redundant, since
the Help: namespace seems to imply Wiki-specific information. Perhaps:
Help:Editing
Help:Syntax
Help:Style
Help:Etiquette
Help:Organizing_pages or Help:Structure
This is just a possibility, though, as some of the renamed ones do
seem a little too general. I was curious what you guys think about
this, and especially the page responsibilities.
+1 to all of this -- this is something we've needed for a really long
time that I just haven't had time to put forth. Thanks so much for your
work!
