I don’t think there are absolutes or easy quick guides, it’s a matter of experience and discovering what you want out of it.
I agree . As I mentioned above, these are opinionated rules that I have come up with after more than 4 years of using TW5 almost everyday at work and for personal use. I would like to evolve them into something we could use for new users because from my own user research, new users struggle a great deal when they’re asked to explore TW5’s capabilities. This holds back the platform. Some hand holding is essential and that’s what we should strive to offer. From those wiki practice essentials, a reasonably guided user should be able to take-off and discover other idiosyncratic possibilities that may suite their needs.
I think most of the “as much as possible” statements are questionable - tagging should be done intelligently - you don’t want a soup.
Agreed. Tagging should be done lightly BUT deliberately. Start with a broader, generic category tag (like Content), then progress to finer, more descriptive tags allows for more flexible indexing and resurfacing of old knowledge IMHO. I’m open to hear what others have to say in this regard.
…your idea of “right” may change as you progress.
Correct. I came up with these suggestions for good wiki practices purely out 4 years of trial and error. Many users simply do not have that much time to evolve their own practices. They have too much on their plate as it is. This is an attempt to bootstrap their wiki practice so they can just focus on their work.
