OpenWetWare:Tidy

Keeping things tidy (hierarchical structured pages)

 * Aside from the necessary etiquette, users should try keep their pages as tidy as possible. Not only the content within the pages, but also the location of said pages.

(Please assume  as a prefix to all the following URIs)
 * Here's an example:
 * Imagine my user name is Bio Engineer and therefore my user page URI is:
 * User:Bio_Engineer This address is my User Page where I'll place all my up-to-date information and also all the links to pages that I create or that I think others might find interesting related to me and my work (in or outside the wiki).


 * Pages that I create should remain within my namespace and not elsewhere (unless they belong to another namespace like a lab or a group). So, I want to create a page for this cool new idea I have and therefore I edit my User page by clicking on the edit tab (at the top of the page) and inserting the following:
 * My cool idea
 * Note the /. This will create a link to your new Cool idea page within your current page. Do your best to keep within the page naming conventions.
 * User:Bio_Engineer/Cool_idea


 * In a nutshell, you end up with something similar to this:

User:Bio_Engineer |- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_1/Subpage_1a |- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_2/Subpage_2a |- User:Bio_Engineer/Page_2/Subpage_2b
 * - User:Bio_Engineer/Page_1
 * - User:Bio_Engineer/Page_2

Why use such a hierarchical scheme?

 * There are a few good reasons to use such a scheme.
 * Your URL becomes easier to remember and is directly related to you and/or your lab
 * You will be able to search for information contained within your hierarchical ladder of pages
 * A proper breadcrumb navigation is automatically created which allows better navigation within your namespace.
