*[[The Messenger]]: Make it the flagship page of the wiki. Streamline to put first and foremost aspects, first and foremost ... the essential understanding as near to the top as possible. --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 22:41, 25 July 2013 (PDT)

*Starting with the main corridors of the NM on the [[Main Page]], organize all pages to flow from the most essential. Use sentences for headers (concise summaries, distillations of the essential teachings) to delineate the main ideas at a glance.  The most concise quotes expressing the essence of the subject need NO headers; ideally the headers below will repeat the ideas in the quotes in the same order.--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 22:41, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
+
*Does the page fully represent the NM teaching on that topic or is more needed? Pages that have many references from a single source indicate a rush job?--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] ([[User talk:Mary s|talk]]) 10:32, 30 October 2015 (PDT)
  
−
*Any sub-heading worth the subdivision indicates a heading that needs to be its own page, with a link replacing it on the original page. Example: The Messenger: Directives. --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 22:41, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
+
*Does it lead with the most succinct and direct expression of the most essential NM perspective? --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] ([[User talk:Mary s|talk]]) 10:32, 30 October 2015 (PDT)
  
−
*Change references to "There Is a New Message from God in the World" chapters to remove reference to the book. They become stand-alone teachings with the date: April 11, 2001. For example, the Chapter Love and Fear would be cited as Love and Fear (April 11, 2001). --[[User:Will|Will]] 19:37, 13 December 2011 (PST)
+
*Extra-long pages. Find a section that could stand alone as a topic and break out new pages. Delete the section but not the section header, create the new page, and put a link where the content used to be. No need to duplicate the section header word for word in page title.--[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] ([[User talk:Mary s|talk]]) 10:32, 30 October 2015 (PDT)

*Change all instances of Mohammad, Mohammed and Muhammed to Muhammad for consistency. --[[User:Will|Will]] 19:37, 13 December 2011 (PST)

*Citations are missing from quotes on "Stillness" (perhaps from Stilling the Mind?) and on "The New Message from God" (cited, but may be incorrect). Both locations are flagged on the edit page. --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 12:20, 16 December 2011 (PST)

<!--Should we add the actual Steps from Steps to Knowledge in the Wiki? Each Step could have it's own page. The benefits are that this would be searchable by search engines (as opposed to the PDF file on the site), and might become a very handy reference for Steps students, when they don't have their book/PDF around. Thoughts? --[[User:Shawn|Shawn]] 12:23, 21 August 2013 (PDT)

*Fix all the [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]] by adding them to categories, adding internal links to them on other pages, and adding them to "See Also" sections as appropriate. --[[User:Shawn|Shawn]] 12:20, 21 August 2013 (PDT) -->

*Take the italics off all titles of Books of the New Message on every page you're working on, if and only if it isn't too much trouble (content trumps punctuation). --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 11:27, 20 July 2013 (PDT)

*<del>Review A-Z for "white space"</del> -- if there are more than 5 quotes on a page, organize them to help the reader navigate with headers that give the main idea,  SEO if possible. --[[User:Mary s|Mary s]] 11:27, 20 July 2013 (PDT)
 
−
*Review for sufficiency -- some pages (for very particular ideas?) want every citation (but not duplicates if a simple "see also" gets the rest (Buddha, Christ, Muhammad--split them up among them); for others, maybe less is more?
