===Naming Conventions===
The following are the preferred naming conventions:
*Name: SME Server
*Full: SME Server 8
*Abbreviated Release SME8
*Point Release: SME Server 8.#
The version number or point release number should only be used where the text refers to a action/process that is specific to that release or point release, SME Server in all other instances.
===Categories===
All articles no matter what type should be categorised and a link to that category placed at the bottom of the article using the inbuilt function <nowiki>[[Category:Name]]</nowiki>

===Article titles===
===Article titles===
If possible, make the title the ''subject'' of the first sentence of the article (as opposed to putting it in the predicate). For example, write "This Manual of Style is a style guide" instead of "This style guide is known as the Manual of Style." In any case, the title should appear as early as possible in the article — preferably in the first sentence.

Consider the legibility of what you are writing. Make your entry easy to read on a screen. Make judicious use of devices such as bulleted lists and bolding. More on this has been written by Jakob Nielsen in [http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710a.html How Users Read on the Web].
