Style guide

  1. Avoid adding any special styles to pages manually so we don't get pages created by one person looking particularly different to other pages.
  2. If you need some particular look/feel/style or macros discuss it because maybe it'd be worth making site-wide (e.g., MediaWiki:Common.css).
  3. On pages which are works-in-progress or are incomplete, add to the bottom of the page [[Category:Pages needing work]] so that editors who are bored can easily find the page and maybe work on it a bit. Also maybe add some notes at the top of the page to say what needs to be done.
  4. Aim for images to be 640x480 PNG with useful/descriptive file names.
  5. You can also upload files to the wiki for later download by users/students/visitors. Don't get carried away with this. For security reasons here are limits to the sizes and types of file which can be uploaded BUT WE CAN CHANGE THESE.
