New pages
New language pages are currently (2010-04-14) made by the administrator ([[Mamandel]]).
They should never be at the top level ([[LANGUAGE]]), but one level down in their namespace ([[LANGUAGE/LANGUAGE]]). See Atlantean.
There should also be a category for each language, so that pages relevant to more than one language, such as ISCII, can be included in all the appropriate categories.
At first they include a great many resources relevant to only some languages. The language editor should check and refine these links and descriptions, and if necessary delete them. These are marked with the resource symbol 
and at generally at least partly in red type.
Sections, subsections, and table of contents
(Mamandel 15:58, 19 April 2010 (UTC))
Table of contents
The Wikimedia software will automatically generate a TOC (Table of Contents) for a page with four or more sections. Wikimedia Help provides detailed information on controlling the TOC.
The TOC's section name is generated as "toc", so you can link to it with "[[#toc|Contents]]", which produces the link Contents.
Sections and subsections
As a general rule, subsections should be labeled with subsection headers=level 1= ==level 2== ===level 3=== ====level 4==== =====level 5===== ======level 6======The Mediawiki software automatically create links for these and puts these in the page's Table of Contents.
Font manipulations such as '''boldface''' and ''italics'' affect only the display, and should in general used only at very fine-grained levels of detail.
