- use people's WikiWord names (U8Q)
- always provide links to source material (like pointing people to particular paragraphs in the e-mail archive) (U8R)
- always consult the Page Index before creating new pages (U8S)
- or shall we even centralize new page naming? (U8T)
- Have conspicuous links (like at the very top) to help people navigate to the OntologySummit2007 home and parent pages, when on a child page, like when is done at the top of this page (UA5)
- leave PurpleNumbers alone at the end of the line, with a space in front of it (U8U)
- when moving content from one page to another, always remove the purple numbers (and let the system regenerate it) (U8V)
