6. '''Naming Pages with Non-English Characters:''' If you are adding a page that has non-English characters (for example, Malmö), please go ahead and include those non-English characters. As a general rule, the pages should be written in Latin script but can include all characters. However, be sure to create a standard English language-only page (for example, "Malmo") that redirects users to the correct page (Malmö). That way, users who type in either "Malmö" or "Malmo" can go to the same page. For details on redirecting pages, please check out [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects this guide]. | |||

8. '''Deleting Pages:''' The deletion of pages can only be done by administrators. Please contact us if you think a page should be deleted (gynopediawikir@gmail.com). | |||
9. '''All Pages Editable''' With the exception of certain pages (i.e. Gynopedia Homepage, Gynopedia Guidelines, Gynopedia Index, Gynopedia Guides, and [[About]] page), all general pages are editable by our users. So, please, edit, and contribute! | |||
