It should be short to read and simple to follow so new editors don't get overwhelmed.
After talking to several new members, it was discovered that most hesitation to edit was due to non-technical reasons so those are addressed first.

==Organization==
There isn't a strict organization structure for the pages in this wiki. This may discourage new editors, but it's not a problem because everything can be found via the search box.
Pages are loosely organized like so:
*Major pages are linked from the bottom of the [[Welcome to Protospace|wiki's homepage]]
*Pages describing each tool are linked to from the [[Tools we have]] page
*A list of all pages can be [https://wiki.protospace.ca/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=0&hideredirects=1 found here]
*A list of categories can be [https://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Special:Categories&offset=&limit=500 found here]
*A list of uncategorized pages can be [https://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Special:UncategorizedPages&limit=500&offset=0 found here]
Don't worry too much about organizing the page you create. It can always be categorized or linked to later.
