*Test all links in "Further Study" sections to online teachings--remove the vertical line separating the website address from the title as it should appear--it is not needed for [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#External_links external links]--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 08:48, 30 September 2013 (PDT)

*Does the page fully represent the NM teaching on that topic or is more needed? Pages that have many references from a single source indicate a rush job?--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] ([[User talk:Mary s|talk]]) 10:32, 30 October 2015 (PDT)

*[[The Messenger]]: Make it the flagship page of the wiki. Streamline to put first and foremost aspects, first and foremost ... the essential understanding as near to the top as possible. --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 22:41, 25 July 2013 (PDT)

*Starting with the main corridors of the NM on the [[Main Page]], organize all pages to flow from the most essential. Use sentences for headers (concise summaries, distillations of the essential teachings) to delineate the main ideas at a glance. The most concise quotes expressing the essence of the subject need NO headers; ideally the headers below will repeat the ideas in the quotes in the same order.--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 22:41, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
+
*Extra-long pages. Find a section that could stand alone as a topic and break out new pages. Delete the section but not the section header, create the new page, and put a link where the content used to be. No need to duplicate the section header word for word in page title.--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] ([[User talk:Mary s|talk]]) 10:32, 30 October 2015 (PDT)
  
−
*Any sub-heading worth the subdivision indicates a heading that needs to be its own page, with a link replacing it on the original page. Example: The Messenger: Directives. --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 22:41, 25 July 2013 (PDT)

*Change references to "There Is a New Message from God in the World" chapters to remove reference to the book. They become stand-alone teachings with the date: April 11, 2001.

−
*Review for sufficiency -- some pages (for very particular ideas?) want every citation (but not duplicates if a simple "see also" gets the rest (Buddha, Christ, Muhammad--split them up among them); for others, maybe less is more?

−
*The headers titled "Quotes" ("Long Quotes," "Short Quotes" and "Excerpts")  are placeholders, waiting for more definition.  Good headers organize the quotes by grouping together quotes with similar themes to help readers navigate the page. Ideally the order of themes (indicated by headers) would flow from the core NM teaching on a subject at the top down to more distinct or tangential but related concepts. Replace these "placeholder" headers with terms clearly naming the core ideas found in the quotes. Aim for simplicity and clarity. See "[[Editing the wiki]]" for generic sections for a page, which do tend to follow a certain order. "Excerpts" is preferred over "Quotes" and is o.k. to use, especially when there are only a few quotes on the page; if the page does have some thematic headers (topical, not categorical terms like "Directives"), you can still throw that generic "Excerpts" up there but better to call them "Other Excerpts" in that case. --[[User:placeholder Mary s|Mary s]] 22:15, 10 September 2013 (PDT)
