QandA

 * Question: why cms instead of wiki?
 * really it is not instead of - it is in addition to...
 * wiki - quick collaboration, easily updated, frequently changing, end-users
 * cms - more static content that must be in xml (docs) and transated and more restricted content like packaging and legal and logos. and lifecycle tracking - to end of life version specific content.

wiki Pagenaming/style tip

 * page can only be in one namespace but can have multi categories.
 * level1 headers are deprecated and bad bad bad - (page name can have spaces so name your page the level1 headers)
 * first thing should not be section header so you get an intro para THEN the table of contents in intro mention that title (in bold). From mediawiki style guide.
 * put category at the bottom of page
 * can we find pages with a l1 header - and rename page using l1 header and remove l1 header
 * look at [fonts] as how category page can have it's own content. uses templates to then list all pages within that category.
