	~~When adding~~ a ~~new page~~ related to longevity to the ~~wiki~~, ~~please make sure to categorize it as~~ '~~Longevity~~' so that ~~it automatically appears in~~ the [[Articles]] ~~listing~~. ~~(Save Changes~~ -> ~~Categories~~)		[[File:Editor Options Menu.png\|thumb\|198x198px\|Editor Options Menu]]

			The articles are categorized into four kinds, each with an associated category that should be added by using the '''Categories''' Option in the menu within the editor. (See "Editor Options Menu")

			*'''Pillar Articles:''' Described in the [[Handbook:Handbook#Strategy\|Strategy]] section, need expert knowledge equivalent to having a post-grad (MSc, Ph.D., MD) in a related area, currently managed by the core group. (Category: Pillar Articles)
			*'''Longevity Articles:''' All articles about longevity, traditional wiki development and open for everyone to contribute. Should be created as draft first and reviewed by others in the community. (Category: Longevity)
			*'''Glossary:''' Key terms in the longevity space, along with a short 2-3 sentence definition, no draft necessary. (Category: Glossary)
			*'''Drafts:''' Articles that haven't been reviewed yet and finalized to a certain stage. (Category: Drafts)
			These articles are all shown on the website on the [[Articles]] page.

			====Drafts====
			When creating a new page, the [[Template:Draft-article\|Draft Article banner template]] should be added to beginning of article via <nowiki>{{ Draft-article }}</nowiki> (without spaces), automatically adding a banner and the "Drafts" category.

			Drafts will not be actively mantained, but the core team might ask authors sometimes if they are still working on the article. The process for now is simple: Write a draft, have others in the community review it, finalise it and remove the draft banner '''(Work in Progress)'''.

			For the review process we encourage to use our Discord server and write comments with the comments feature of the editor; text that is written in the editor but not shown on the published page.
