I have a very rough page up detailing my perception of the elements that make a page complete from a wiki gardening perspective.
Please keep in mind since there are no predecessors to this document a lot of the content was made up on the fly.

Please feel free to edit, change, comment, flame, or rewrite.
Thanks,
David Nalley

The section on naming looks like you didn't finish your thought. :-) But I know that the naming is something that Karsten was going to finish up here on the list -- by tomorrow's meeting? Not sure.
But this page looks good to me! You might also want a link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing as well.

It's partially an unfinished thought and partially abandoned because when I asked for clarification in IRC and tried to stir up discussion on the list it generated no definitive answer. I shouldn't have left it in that state - and will go correct that, but last I heard we still have not settled on a new naming convention.

I think we settled on the following as acceptable:
fp.o/wiki/This_is_okay fp.o/wiki/Subproject/This_is_okay
Note the wiki interprets those underlines as spaces, so if you start a new page "This is okay" the wiki will generate that first actual page link. Under sub-projects we should do the same thing, so the sub-project gets one directory's worth of "grace" for their own name, but under that we use plain language page names. In other words, try to use spaces to make things more like regular language and less like a techie directory listing:
fp.o/wiki/Okay/This/NotReally/GoodAtAll
Karsten, correct me if I'm wrong please, I don't want to give anybody a bum steer.

Yes, all correct. To be fair to David, that was an old post I found stuck in the moderation queue; I think he participated in naming discussions following that.

And hopefully, integrate as much content as possible into [[Example wiki page]] without making it look like Help:Editing.
Also you can use <!-- html style comments --> in pages so that when they edit the page (view the source), they can see those comments about things.

So Dave and I were talking about this, and I think we are going to keep this page as one that shows what should (and should not) be on a wiki page to call it "complete".
We _could_ put a bunch of examples of how to do bulleted lists, etc., but then that is a repetition of content that is available elsewhere.
Hopefully this scope is complete:
