Since OpenWetWare is a wiki, anyone with an account can edit any page. And since the MediaWiki software keeps track of all the previous versions of a page, it is easy to roll back unwanted page edits. However, to keep things organized and also go easy on the TAs and instructors, there are a few 20.109-specific guidelines for editing OpenWetWare. | Since OpenWetWare is a wiki, anyone with an account can edit any page.

===Use the "20.109( | ===Use the "20.109(S15):" prefix for new pages=== | ||
If you create a new page, start off the page name with "20.109(S14):." For instance, "20.109(S14):Helpful hints on doing Qiagen purifications" is a better name than "Helpful hints on doing Qiagen purifications." This labeling scheme helps others in our class find relevant pages, while signaling to people outside of the class to be respectful of our pages. Also, every page must have a unique name in MediaWiki software, so by adding the prefix "20.109(S14):", we avoid inadvertently using common page names that might be in high demand. | If you create a new page, start off the page name with "20.109(S14):."
