[[BoroondaraWiki]] relies on editors contributing information. We encourage site contributers to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold]] and add content.

== Introduction ==
Some general principles to consider when editing a page:
* '''Be bold!''' If you see a mistake or something that needs improvement, fix it yourself.
* '''Use sub-headings.''' These help to organise articles. Sub-headings also make finding information easier.

== Adding a file ==
Including media in an article often helps to communicate its contents. Whether that be a photo, map or something else, adding a file is a good way to improve BoroondaraWiki.

You can browse any existing media through the [[:Category:Browse|category system]] of the wiki. If you see something you like, add it using <code><nowiki>[[File:FILENAME|RESOLUTION (e.g. 200px)|ALIGNMENT (e.g. left, right or center|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code>.

If you would like to upload a new file that is not already included on the wiki, see [[Help:Media]].

== Adding categories and templates ==
=== Categories ===
Some best pratice to consider when adding categories:
* Content should only be placed in its sub-category. For example, a photo of [[Balwyn]] would be placed in [[:Category:Balwyn|Category:Balwyn]], not in [[:Category:Suburbs|Category:Suburbs]].
* Create sub-categories if required. When doing so, make sure that any relevant existing content is also moved into the new sub-category.
