contributor to wiki guidelines
GitHub wikis are a flat namespace
Every .md file resolves to a URL by filename alone, no matter which
directory it lives in in this git repo. The data_files/ directory some
pages sit in is cosmetic -- data_files/elements_XML.md and a hypothetical
top-level elements_XML.md would collide at the same URL. Don't try to
nest pages by directory; keep filenames unique across the whole repo instead.
Before adding a link
Run this from the repo root to make sure every ](page_name) link you added
actually points at a page that exists:
ls *.md data_files/*.md | xargs -n1 basename | sed 's/\.md$//' | sort -u > /tmp/pages.txt
grep -ohE '\]\(([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)\)' *.md data_files/*.md | tr -d '()]' | sort -u > /tmp/links.txt
comm -23 /tmp/links.txt /tmp/pages.txt # anything printed here is a dead link
