::*How do we present material for the overall look of the page? | |||
::*How do we use the Style guide page? | |||
::*Does the page need to be reorganized with the most important information for new contributors at the top? | |||
::*Have the "meat" of the article on the page and then have links to detail pages, such as grammar, etc. | |||
::*We need a link from edit mode to Manual of Style. Could it be added to information at bottom of page or added to Nav box on the side? Would people use the page more often if it were easier to access when editing? | |||
