*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)

*Anytime you see a page and all the references come from just a few NM books, it means we quit after those few; there's probably lots more to find in other sources. Example: [[Disappointment]] Active editors should all ask Will for access to portfolio of NM documents for fast word searching.--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 21:15, 14 November 2013 (PST)
+
*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)
+
*Does it lead with the most succinct and direct expression of the most essential NM perspective? --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] ([[User talk:Mary s|talk]]) 10:32, 30 October 2015 (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 with subdivisions 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)

Description, dates received & published, place received,“setting”-- any notes on circumstances? eyewitness narrative?

*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. For example, the Chapter Love and Fear would be cited as Love and Fear (April 11, 2001). --[[User:Will|Will]] 19:37, 13 December 2011 (PST)

*The page that is a wiki unto itself: [[Practices]]. It has sub-sub-headings and is huge. How to spin off related pages? Rename each sub-heading (Core practices, etc.) as a new page, leaving only the link (and general description) on this page. Names for each sub-heading need improvement for standing as pages. See Shawn's question about STK Steps as pages; is there a way to title each practice (human traits & inclinations) and to include the Step or Step addressing it? The list of "Practices addressing human inclinations" or "capacity-strengthening practices" have not exhausted the Steps--we should make sure there is a page on each one of these human character traits, and a link to the practice (with the Step) on each? --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 08:09, 6 November 2013 (PST)

*Should we add the actual Steps from Steps to Knowledge in the Wiki? Each Step could have it's own page. The benefits are that this would be searchable by search engines (as opposed to the PDF file on the site), and might become a very handy reference for Steps students, when they don't have their book/PDF around. Thoughts? --[[User:Shawn|Shawn]] 12:23, 21 August 2013 (PDT)

*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?
