  1. Revise, revise, revise. The purpose of this wiki is to serve as a forum through which people can share ideas and any other information that might be relevant to the community. So the more you add new pages and edit existing pages, the more useful they become.
  2. Do not edit model elements (anything found between Modeling tags) without prior discussion with other users. These discussions should be held on the discussion page attached to each page in the site.
  3. Put (at least) a sentence about yourself on your user page. This helps people feel more comfortable with each other's edits.
  4. See the Wikipedia policy on minor edits.
  5. Try to capitalize only the first word in a page title (sentence caps format). Protein names should also be capitalized in page names. This convention makes it easier for an editor to link to a page, since there's no need to check the original capitalization. Creating a link beginning with a lower-case letter will link to a target page with the first letter capitalized, which also makes initial caps more universal. Abbreviations, acronyms, and proper names are clearly exceptions, e.g., MAPK and user pages.
  6. Use categories. Any page that contains model elements or information that is otherwise important for documenting an extracted model should be placed in the Yeast Pheromone Response Model category. The Parameters - Yeast Pheromone Response Model, Species - Yeast Pheromone Response Model and Reactions - Yeast Pheromone Response Model categories are still used on many pages, but the use of these categories is not longer required. These pages could all be migrated to the Yeast Pheromone Response Model category.
  7. Format less not more. Since most of our users are not expert html coders, it is better to use simple formatting wherever possible. Even for those who are adept at html, simple wikitext is easier to read and edit than complex wikitext.
