Streamlining WiserEarth-Related Wikipages
Access Privileges
Please carry on discussions about this wikipage in the (UP&RUNNING) Streamlining WiserEarth-Related Wikipages forum.
Streamlining?
One of the more important part of the user experience is the WiserEarth-related WikiPages. These range from the obvious "About Us" page to the little-known but important pages such as the "Site Map".
At the moment, one had to browse, search, join discussions, and
discover WikiPages by chance and to discover connections between them, which indicates
that they are scattered, fragmented and not optimized to improve
the user experience.
In the future, it would be nice to see all
of these wikipages aggregated and structured in a "Help"/"User Guide"
page for all WiserEarthlings.
Below, we shall try to list all of these wikipages to:
- make it more visible to all editors (and users) for easier access and editing
- see connections between them for increasing the effectiveness of each page and a group of pages.
- reduce unnecessary complexity and redundancies
- identify which pages are no longer in use and can be deleted/archived (to avoid confusion)
- identify which pages can be merged to increase clarity and usefulness
- identify what kind of pages needs to be created to improve user (and editor) experience
So, here we go:

I didn't click on everything, but here's some of what I observed. Somebody really needs to go completely through this and make sure it works as intended. jp

~~ "Wikipage" and "Article" is used interchangeably in WE, but "article" is used in the URL for wikipages.
As for the suggestions, the Suggestions group seems a good place to discuss things.
