Tips for writing wiki pages

Before you start

Look at some example pages to get an idea for what's expected. Search in the wiki to see if it's already there - or if something very related is already there.

Naming your page

For a paper page, name your page something that would be reasonable citation entry, including at least the first author and the year, as in the examples. Squeeze in a conference name or an abbreviation of a journal if it's someplace easily recognizable to the audience - that will help them remember. You can move you page later if you need to, so this isn't critical.

For a method page, name it according to a reasonably long name of the method - eg, use Logistic Regression, not just "LogReg" or "LR".

Semantic links

If the page describes a paper, include a link of the form [[Category::paper]], like this: "This seminal [[Category::paper]] by Cohen is one of the finest...". The other valid category links are [[Category::method]] and [[Category::dataset]].

If the paper makes use of some learning method or analysis method that should be described on a separate wiki page, then add a link like this one [[UsesMethod::pointwise mutual information]]
