An editor must always decide when to start adding content to a page and when to create new pages in the structure. In general, it is preferable to have several branches at a reasonable specificity before adding content. Consider: you don't want leaves too close to the trunk.

	'''Example''': The homepage has a link to the ~~National Socialist~~ Encyclopedia page, which includes a topic heading. Under the topic heading, the page Jewish Ritual Murder is linked. On this page, a further page is linked, Jewish Ritual Murder in England. At this point, it is a good time to start adding leaves. Rather than creating a new page, it is reasonable to start creating headings on the Jewish Ritual Murder in England page. It would have been fine to start adding content to the Jewish Ritual Murder page, but a further, more specific page was better.

	By necessity, the decision will always be somewhat arbitrary. This is unavoidable. Just think it through and do your best. Communicate with other editors and the admin if you are unsure.

Internal links define and shape Information Revolt. The idea is for the site to resemble a tree with all of the branches connecting back to the homepage.

	Pages should be placed in their appropriate location in the tree structure. Obviously, you wouldn't link to mid-17th-century Jewish pottery on the site's homepage. Putting it out of place on a top branch may be just as absurd. Communicate with other editors or ask the site administration if you are not sure where to place a new page. Going back after the fact and changing a page's location can be difficult and ~~obnoxious~~.		Pages should be placed in their appropriate location in the tree structure.

	An editor is not necessarily required to add their pages to the tree structure, but people are unlikely to find them otherwise, and duplicate work may be created. Moreover, clashing page names are more likely to emerge if editors don't add their work to the tree.

Do not mix structural branches with leaf-bearing branches. If a page is a structural page leading to other pages, do not add leaves to it. Create a new page and add leaves to it.

			== Avoid Duplication ==
			This is perhaps the second most important guideline for editors. If the information already exists elsewhere in a complete form, it is often unnecessary to duplicate it on Information Revolt. For example, there is already a [https://holocaustencyclopedia.com/ Holocaust Encyclopedia]. An editor should not try to reproduce it here-- the work has already been done. It may be appropriate to write an article for beginners linking to different parts of the Holocaust Encyclopedia. Or create an outline of key information in a novel format. Or perhaps the Holocaust Encyclopedia is missing a piece of information, and you should add it to Information Revolt.
