=Adding New Feature Pages to the Wiki= |
|||
This is just a proposal, but I felt some suggestions on how to write [[Feature Page|FeaturePage]]s would help to prevent such a chaos as the [[Big Mess|BigMess]]. |
|||
If you have an idea and this idea is being discussed in the [[Mailing List|MailingList]] or it is just too big for [[New Feature Suggestions|NewFeatureSuggestions]], then you should create a new [[Feature Page|FeaturePage]] for it. |
|||
The first thing to do is think of a [[Good WikiName|GoodWikiName]]. This will be the title of your page. You should keep in mind that if the idea gets implemented, the title should still be valid after the implementation. Currently the Wiki is full of [[Bad WikiName|BadWikiName]]s. An example of a very [[Good WikiName|GoodWikiName]] is [[Survival Of The Fittest|SurvivalOfTheFittest]] or [[Editor Rating|EditorRating]]. These names are used in the [[Mailing List|MailingList]] and will (probably) still be valid when they have become part of [[MusicBrainz]]. [[Survival Of The Fittest|SurvivalOfTheFittest]] is ''currently'' a proposal. In two years it might be a page that describes the existing system. The links to it will still be valid. |
|||
That way the page can evolve with the feature. This is better than having a page like [[Moderation Improvements|ModerationImprovements]] whose title will be out of date when these features have become standard. |
|||
I created the pages [[Future Work|FutureWork]], [[Current Work|CurrentWork]], and [[Finished Work|FinishedWork]]. These only include short descriptions and links to [[Feature Pages|FeaturePages]]. A Feature will migrate from Future to Present to Past. But ''all other references in the Wiki to that feature will remain intact.'' |
