Wiki Content evolution

This page contains notes on the tutorial video I will make to discuss wiki content evolution.

Use the demo site as an example. Delete a few pages and recreate them.

  • You might think - should I use a plural; remember - no one can see this except you. Little "deviations from the standard" give it character.
  • Mention how Travel Loyalty Programs exists under Personal and Vacations.
  • Creating inter-page links is like neurons in your brain creating connections
  • I should use Vacation Planning as the example. From a bulleted list to Headings and multiple lists, to multiple pages
    • First list
      • Vacation Planning Checklist
      • Sample Trip Plan
      • Upcoming Trips
      • Journals From Past Trips
      • Vacation Photography
    • Then the single outline grows and is divided by headers - I use the rule an outline can be max of one page length. I never want to have to scroll through an outline. If it can't fit on one page, then segment it by headers or into multiple pages. And like most rules, I have allowed exceptions from time to time... but no one will ever see this but me, so I can break my own rules whenever I want.
    • Guideline:
      • Don't make a header for just one bulleted list
      • Every bulleted list should have a paragraph above it describing the scope of the list - it could be one short, but complete sentence.
      • Every item in a bulleted list should use consistent sentence structure and punctuation
      • Make them MESE
      • If an item in the list "feels like it doesn't belong", it probably doesn't - make a new list or write a paragraph about it.
      • I wonder if we can integrate with Grammarly so that "Scratch Notes" get limited spell check
  • Show my browser with 5 different tabs open of different wiki pages (at least two being edited), three ChatGPT sessions
