This page endeavors to ask, “How will the MP Knowledge Base be consistently different from the legacy mp.com site?” If you want to see one example of an editorial style guide, take a look at the The Economist's. (Obviously, ours will necessitate a lot more MP-specific considerations.)
Wikipedia's informal slogan is “be bold when updating pages.” That is as good a motto for us as any. For this resource to have any lasting value, it's very important we all bring a critical eye to everything you see here. If something isn't right or something could be better, please, fix it. The essence of the content on the legacy site should make the jump to the knowledge base, but everything else is subject to revision and improvement. Let us make this as good as we possibly can!
We strive to create articles that contain all relevant content and explain that content in a minimum number of words. The shorter and more straightforward an article is, the more likely a patient is to find the answer for which he or she is looking.
A full list of currently selected tags should referred to before creating a new tag (we want to avoid multiple tags for the same subject). Also, to make tagging really useful, it is better to only use tags for topics with a number of related articles. That is, not creating a tag per article is better.
There is a discussion at dokuwiki about back linking tags here. — Joyful 2008/10/11 04:42
