'''It is very important to put in the correct categories so that other people can easily find your work.''' The best way to find which categories to put in is to look at pages on similar subjects, and check which categories they use. For example if you write an article about a type of tree, you may look at an article on another type of tree to see which categories could be appropriate. | '''It is very important to put in the correct categories so that other people can easily find your work.'''

===Redirects=== | |||
Pages need redirects if: | |||
* they have abbreviations (eg. ''HUD'' redirect to ''Head-up display''). | |||
* they have symonyms (eg. ''FlightGear Wizard'' redirect to ''FlightGear Launch Control''). | |||
With redirects we can decrease the time people will need to find the article they were looking for. Most people get discouraged if they have to search to a long list of possible results. | |||
To make a redirect, add the following code to an empty page: | |||
<tt><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[page_name]]</nowiki></tt> | |||
