| |
| − | ;Hints
| |
| − | You may have found that your list is on a broad topic with many websites. Try narrowing your list by clicking on the ''get more specific'' links. Spend some time playing with the find feature (try putting quotes around several words), until you find the list you want to work on.

| |
| − | ==Making sure the right sites are on the list==
| |
| − | ===Add missing sites===
| |
| − | *'''Add a site to the list via the field at the bottom (image below). This is an automated way to add the necessary [[topic]](s) to that [[domain page]] to make it show up in the list.'''
| |
| − | :[[Image:AddASiteToList.png]]
| |
| − | **You can also add sites to the list by going to their [[domain page]] (by searching for xyz.com in the [[Find!]] bar) and adding the [[tag]](s) to get them on the list.
| |
| − | ===Remove sites that don't belong===
| |
| − | *If you see a site that shouldn't be on the list you can edit it straight from the list (see image below) and remove the inappropriate [[tag]] that's making it show up in the list.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Other===
| |
| − | *If you notice any [[parking lots]] or [[NoWebsite|websites that don't resolve]] these shouldn't show up on any lists. To remove them from lists remove all of its [[tags]].
| |
| − | *If you notice any [[pac|adult]] pages please [[pac|flag them]] via the flag at the top right on the site's [[domain page]].
| |
| − | *If you notice a site with funky [[CamelCaseCapitalization]] please fix it via the "[[move]]" function at the top of its [[domain page]].

| |
| − | ==Tags and Summaries==
| |
| − | Tags and summaries are the quickest way to describe a website.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ideally, having 5-10 tags per website is good.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can add/remove [[tags]] and add/edit [[summaries]] directly from the list. To do so hover over one of the sites in the list which you would like to edit and then click the pencil icon on the right.

| |
| − | ==Give your list a '''title''' and '''description'''==
| |
| − | Lists start out with "The best # websites about..." as their title, but anything is better than that ;)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Next, tell people more about your list and the [[topic]] by writing a description. Here you can share your knowledge of the topic and also give them an introduction to the types of sites that are in the list and how they relate to that topic.
