#The top of each page should include a short description of the page as well as a picture. | |||
#Sections and subsections should be kept tight to specific topics with ideally 2-4 halacha's. It is preferable to break up a large section into multiple subsections than to have one large one. | |||
#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]]. | |||

#Every footnote has accurate and specific sources. It should have at least one. Please do not write a halacha without a source, it will be removed. | |||
#The footnotes can either be just a source or can be a sentence up to 3 paragraphs of description. | |||
# You must look up the sources inside. If you do not look up a source in the primary source, you must quote the secondary source in which you saw it quoted. | |||

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]].
