 ### Organization tips ### Organization tips
  
 1. 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. 1.

-2. 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. +2.

 +4. 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. 
 +5. 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
