	If content is relevant to two separate pages, our goal is to make the content available to users whichever page they are reading. If one of the pages is the primary one and the other is secondary, the content should be written on the primary page and the secondary one should just have a reference to the primary page. On the other hand, if the halacha is very relevant to both pages, it should be included on both pages. However, the pages should be coordinated so that changes on one page also appear on the other. The current solution is to use templates. To do this, create a [[template]] and insert the halacha and the relevant footnotes into the [[template]].

	# ~~Here's an outline for how to use those 10 minutes most effectively~~:		===Editing with Visual Editor or Edit Source===

			#At the bottom of every page to render the sources type <references/> or {{Reflist}}
			#On the bottom of the page you can categorize the page. For more info on that see [[#How To Categorize A Page]].

			==Capitalizing Hebrew Words==
			In general, the capitalization depends on whatever would be capitalized in English.
			# Rule 1: The first word of a sentence is always capitalized
			# Rule 2: A proper noun is capitalized. A proper noun is a name for an specific person, place, or organization.
			## For example, Shabbat is a proper noun just like Saturday would be and should be capitalized. However, a bracha should be lowercase just like a blessing is a noun and is lowercase, though, Birchot HaTorah would be capitalized for that matter.
			## Another example, is that the word 'rishonim' (Medeval commentators) shouldn't be capitalized, but Tosfot should be since it refers to a specific group of French rabbis living in the Twelfth century.
