The contributor should be aware of the difference between an entry and a page.
Both entries and pages exist throughout the wiki. Both are created similarly and edited with the same editors — in a sense, they are not overtly different.
The difference between entries and pages is conceptual. Entries are the basic unit of the wiki, while pages serve to organize these entries by related themes. Pages can be found on the Sidebar and embedded throughout the wiki (such as Categories & Special Pages), while entries can be found listed on pages.
Both entries and pages are searched using the search bar.
The contributor will mostly create entries on specific subjects, but there may be some circumstances in which the contributor may benefit from creating a page.
- The Profile Page is more an entry describing the Contributor/Adminstrator than a page, but will be referred to as a page in title because of its unique function and distinction from wiki entries.
- For the most part, Administrators will be responsible for the creation of pages as modifications to the Sidebar require special permission.
