-Page names should be descriptive and unique. Use singular nouns instead of plurals when possible (e.g. "Keyboard" instead of "Keyboards"). This makes linking from singular words easier, as you can just use:<br/>

-Always try to group and categorize your information in a logical and user-friendly way. Prevent redundancies: only create subsections if there are more of them at the same level (levels are indicated by number of = signs before and after the section header), otherwise just collapse to the parent.
+For some reason, Erik seems to always start at level 2 ('=='). It makes the jump in font-size between the header and text a bit less jarring, but it's mainly done out of a force of habit. Help him break this spell by properly starting your sections at level 1.
 You can add many levels of subsections as you like, but after level 3 they become quite hard to distinguish and will clutter the TOC. If a subject requires many sub-subcategories, consider giving the subcategory its own page. Alternatively, if the sub-subcategories are only small in content, you could make non-TOC headers with simple '''bold text'''.
