 - Look for the edit button on the right side of any page, when logged in - it looks like a pencil!
 - Pages that have `<!DOCTYPE markdown>` at the top are written in commonmark [markdown syntax](https://commonmark.org/help/) - this is the preferred way to write pages!
-- Pages that don't have a DOCTYPE at the top, are written in dokuwiki [wiki syntax](https://new.vanhack.ca/wiki/syntax)

 ### Organization tips
 . In general we prefer a flatter design - don't make lots of little pages with one or two paragraphs on them, instead have one page with sub-sections. An example of this is the [tools page](/tools) - one big page with sections, not many little pages.
-. Wiki pages `/wiki/somepage` and wiki sections `/wiki/somesection/` are different. Note the trailing slash on the section URL. You can put sub-pages inside a section, so they are preferred for any case where you might want to split things into multiple pages.

-. When you visit `/wiki/` (trailing slash) you're actually viewing the page `/wiki/start` - the "start" page is the default page in a section.

+. If you want to move things around, don't be shy - just make sure to ask an admin to make redirects so links to the old pages aren't broken.
+. For more about how the wiki is organized, [see the plan](/wiki/vhswiki/plan), but in short it's:
+  - `/*` the top-level, is reserved for very-public facing stuff - i.e. stuff that's linked from the top navigation bar - what we are, how to join, etc.
+  - `/tools` has a list of all the tools - this is the page people visit when they want to know if VHS has a Plumbis for realigning their Winglehop 2000.
+  - `/wiki/groups/$GROUPNAME/start` is the home for individual groups/committees/areas at VHS
+  - `/wiki/vhs/` is for stuff related to VHS, membership, policy etc.
+  - `/wiki/resources/` is for misc stuff that doesn't belong above

 The **user** access level lets you edit the public face of VHS: the main landing page, the membership page, etc. There's a bit higher bar - you need to have a reason you want to change those pages - and you probably should clear the change with at least one other member.
