Posting Suggestions

Hi Paul,

In the future, please format new MEMM pages thusly:

Site:MEMM:Sub-page

Where "Sub-page" is named specific to the content of the page, spelled with initial caps. I prefer a word or short phrase that captures the contents, rather than "p1", "p2", which say nothing about the contents of the page. One of the reasons PES pages do well in the search engines is because we name our file appropriate to their contents.

also, there is a way to build a table of contents for various pages in a project or presentation.

Build a page as follows, with the contents of the table of contents:
Template:MEMM

Then, on each page, insert the code {{Template:MEMM}}, and it will insert that table of contents. This way as you add pages, or move page, you only need to update one location.

Thanks

Deleting pages

Hi Paul,

In looking at the "recent changes" page I see a "deletion log". I'm not sure what was deleted, but I did see that you moved a few pages' content, replacing them with redirect commands.

The redirects are good because they point people to where the content can be found, once it is moved. Deleting a page is not good because when people point their browswers to the former page now nothing comes up.

In other words, it is hardly ever prudent to delete a page. The only reason would be if someone wished for the content to be stricken from the Internet (e.g. if the material was posted against their permission).

Congratulations on the recent progress.
