Those who create content and maintain pages in the Canisius College wiki should follow a consistent set of guidelines for organization and page style.  Visitors - students, faculty, staff, and outside clients - should encounter a consistent experience wherever they are in the wiki.  For example, if you neglect to add menus, use headings, follow good practices for linking file attachments, and removing out of date content, your intended visitors may fail to find, or worse, find the wrong information in your wiki pages.  

Happily, the tools and practices described below are simple and easy to follow.
