Introduction
This Wikipedia article provides background on the Wiki concept.

Comprehensive help regarding the Mediawiki software is available on the Help:Editor page from the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki Project. Users may also post questions on the Bogleheads Reference Library and Wiki subforum.

Guidelines for writing appropriate articles are still in their formative stages. As a starting point, here are Wikipedia's three core content policies: The Bogleheads Wiki will need to modify these policies somewhat. For example, neutrality must be measured with respect to the beliefs of the Bogleheads community, not the population as a whole.
 * Neutral Point of View
 * Verifiability
 * No Original Research

Wiki Fund Pages
Many wiki pages include links to Vanguard funds, and the link is sometimes to the fund's wiki page and sometimes to Vanguard's official page. The ideal situation would be for the link to always go to the fund's wiki page if there is one (since that page can link to Vanguard's official page), and to Vanguard's page if there is no wiki page. However, since this will not always be possible in practice, use the following procedures:


 * If you create a link to a fund which already has a wiki page, or which is likely to have one soon (for example, there is currently no page for the TIPS fund but the fund is important enough that someone will probably add it), link to the wiki page.
 * If you create a link to a fund which does not yet have a wiki page and is not likely to have one soon, link to Vanguard's official page.

Once you have finished a wiki page for a new fund, search for other wiki pages which link to Vanguard's official page, and change the links to point to the wiki page instead.

Here is the Wiki page which tabulates all wiki fund pages as they are created. Use this as a handy reference and do not forget to update the page as you create wiki fund pages. This should include newly created (no content) pages as well as content pages.
