# Good editing practice

Please help us keep the wiki organised and useful by following these guidelines:

- Check whether the information already exists before creating duplicate content.
- Update existing pages where appropriate rather than creating similar content elsewhere.
- Ensure that any information you add is accurate, clear and up to date.
- Keep formatting consistent with the rest of the wiki.
- Use meaningful headings and descriptive link text.
- Upload documents using the appropriate file type (PDF, Word or PowerPoint) and include a short description where helpful.
- Be courteous and respectful when editing shared content.

# Please do not

To maintain a consistent structure across the wiki, please avoid:

- Renaming major sections or categories.
- Changing the overall navigation or page hierarchy.
- Deleting pages without approval.
- Removing information that may still be useful without checking first.

If information is outdated, update it where possible or contact the Wiki administrator.
