| ==Create Categories==
| |
| Wikipedia uses a number of tactics to organize their encyclopedia, many of which would benefit our Wiki. We want to make our Wiki as simple as possible to work with, so we should endeavour to make it simple to find things. Categories are one way to make a subject easy to find.
| |
|
| |
| To learn more about how categories work on our wiki, go to Wikipedia's help files on categories, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization here].
| |
|
| |
| Once you've read that file, you can start categorizing the pages on our Wiki. Ideally, everything should have a category!

| Then, head to our wiki and find areas which could use this kind of organization. A good place to start would be the "Academy Library" files. | | Then, head to our wiki and find areas which could use this kind of organization. A good place to start would be the "Academy Library" files. |

| ==Re-Create the Main Menu==
| |
| The main menu is a bit disorganized at the moment. We need it to be more user friendly, and more aesthetically pleasing. As always, Wikipedia's Main Page is a good example of what we'll want.
| |
| | |
| We WILL want:
| |
| *A featured article.
| |
| *A "did you know" section.
| |
| *A "Browse by Topic" list.
| |
| | |
| We WON'T want:
| |
| *An anniversary section -- we're not an encyclopedia.
| |
| *A news section -- our website's main page will do that.
| |
| | |
| So I'd suggest perhaps putting in place of the anniversary and news sections some ideas from the Wikipedia Community Portal. In place of an anniversary section, we could put an "open tasks" list, and so on.
