Please use the appropriate form to create new pages. This will ensure  they can be easily editable and searchable via Category pages. Only two different forms exist:
# [[Form:NetcdfGlossary|Glossary]] for mathematical and data symbols, with optional subcategories.

# [[Form:DefineConcept|Concept]] for defining short, reusable [[:Category:Concept]] or longer derivations which are categorized as [[:Category:Fundamentals]].

== Concept ==
The [[Form:DefineConcept| Concept form]] will ask if you are creating  a [[:Category:Concept]], or a [[:Category:Fundamentals]] page. This can be changed later using ''edit with form''. Here's an example concept for [[Acoustic-Doppler Velocimeters]] developed using the [[Form:DefineConcept|form]].
 
If a concept becomes long, i.e., contains too many topics, consider splitting the page into smaller concepts. A fundamentals page should be reserved for describing/linking multiple concepts.
Please create pages using a descriptive title page. This will help make the category list more meaningful. For example, creating a page named ''Velocity despiking'' is more meaningful title than ''despike''.

Overview

The ATOMIX wiki makes use of forms/templates to simplify categorisation of the information. Each form allows the users to add any supporting information (figures, citations). Through these forms, users can optionally assign categories for the instrument type(s). The information in the form are then parsed through templates that control the formatting.

Before creating a page,  please make sure no page already exists through the Category:Concept, Category:Fundamentals, Category:Glossary lists, alternatively using the search tool!

Editing existing pages

If any page has edit with form (example) [INSERT EXAMPLE PIC], please use this option to edit the page to avoid destroying the wiki's organization.

Forms for creating new pages

Please use the appropriate form to create new pages. This will ensure they can be easily editable and searchable via Category pages. Only two different forms exist:

  1. Glossary for mathematical and data symbols, with optional subcategories.
  2. Concept for defining short, reusable Category:Concept or longer derivations which are categorized as Category:Fundamentals.
