   Keep adding pages to the wiki. 
   A wiki adds value with new content and new links. 

When in doubt add a page. It can't hurt and will usually only help people down the road.

  • Replace Email With Wiki Page
  • Summarize Email With Wiki Page
  • Summarize Conversation With Wiki Page
  • Break Big Page Into Smaller Pages

The general idea is to create pages as 'leaf nodes' of information and organize them in different ways. The leaf nodes need to link to related items. Above that are category pages that are links to other links.

If you put useful content in large pages then nobody knows it exists unless they happen to read the large page. If you pull content out into its own page then the content exists as a first class entity:

   it can be seen when browsing the page index
   changes will be seen in recent changes
   another page can link to just that page
   another page can include that page into its own page 

Don't worry, you weave small pages together to make big pages. It's important to be able to present a single integrated page on a topic because:

   a page with everything on it is often easier to read, as apposed to following links all over the place
   it can be printed
