This is a new page for wiki editors that explains how to create a new page, and what the standardized structure is for our pages. Having a somewhat universal structure to our pages will make them more readable and easier to browse. There will always be an exception to these rules, and we always prefer to have information available even it is incomplete or not well formatted, but these guidelines should be followed whenever possible. This guide doesn't cover how to actually edit the wiki. For that, please see the Help section of the wiki.
==Goal of the wiki==
I currently see the wiki as having three different functions:
# Being a general guide and learning tool ([[Sour Worting]] page, for example).
# Being a place to track and catalog information (culture charts, secondary metabolites, etc).
# Being a place to track the information shared by reputable Milk The Funk members. Note that there is a fine line between "internet lore", "personal opinion", and "valuable insight". This has been a delicate road to walk, but I feel like we have some real experts who's opinions can be quoted. When referencing these things, make it clear that it was stated by the person who stated it. This gives them the responsibility for saying it!
# Cataloging outside information. There is a plethora of outside information. It is up to us to filter it out, organize it, and deem it worthy of linking to on this wiki.
