This page contains some guidelines and tips for adding meeting topics as well as a template for adding your own topics. You can copy and paste the template at the bottom of the page into the [[:Category:Meeting Minutes|meeting minutes]] page for the next meeting. Click "edit" or "edit source" on the minutes page to add your topic.

==Guidelines==
* If it's something like rules change, you also need to post it to the mailing list for wider feedback before the meeting
* Most additions should be added under New Business.
* Include a Point of Contact (PoC) so we know who added the topic. You can link your name to your user page using <code><nowiki>[[User:mkfink|Mike F.]]</nowiki></code>

==Wiki Tips==
These apply when using "Edit Source". Use "Edit" for a much more user-friendly editor.
* Subsection titles are surrounded by the double equals <code>==</code>
** Deeper subsections can be created with <code>===</code> or <code>====</code>, for example <code><nowiki>===Sub-subsection===</nowiki></code>
** When adding a topic under new business, use <code>===</code> for your title
* Use asterisks <code>*</code> at the beginning of a line to make a bullet point, and pound symbols <code>#</code> make a numbered sequence. <code>**</code> makes an indented bullet
** Don't put any white space at the beginning of a line or it will not be recognized as wikitext
* Use the "Show Preview" button make sure your edit looks correct. You can scroll down to the edit text box at the bottom of the page to make further changes
* Make sure to press "Save Page" when you are done.

==Example==
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
===This is My Topic Title===
