This page summarises guidelines to follow when creating wiki pages that are intended for non-US readers.
Organization
Create a draft page under your username as described in Help:Contents. For example, the page can be titled as "User:LadyGeek/New page title". If you do not live in a locale that uses English as the main language, adding English to your browser's spell check languages will help you to avoid typos and spelling errors.
When the draft page is complete, move (rename) the page to the main namespace. For example, "New page title". Then, add the categories and templates as described below.
Templates to identify the target audience
Next, add the templates which identify the target audience. At the top of the page, select an appropriate template from:
- Pages applicable to non-US investors: {{Non-US}}
- Pages applicable to US investors: {{US}}
- An optional reference to a wiki page that explains the non-US variant:
{{US | NonUSlink = (link)}}
- If only a section of a page is applicable to non-US investors, then use {{US section}} in that section.
- An optional reference to a wiki page that explains the non-US variant:
- Pages applicable to both US and non-US investors: {{Global}}
- Pages applicable to US investors not residing in the US: {{USabroad}}
Administrative content
When the draft page is complete, it must be properly categorized and added to the wiki navigation templates. After the page has been moved to the main namespace, add to the bottom of the page:
- {{Non-US domiciles}}
- [[Category:Non-US domiciles]]
Add the page to the Non-US domiciles template.
Generated categories
The following categories are created:
- Non-US domiciles
- Pages not applicable to Non-US investors
