How to Annotate Wiki Pages

This wiki establishes a convention for annotating pages with metadata. This page describes how an author can use this page and the collection of references to annotate pages in other wikis. The annotations support Digital Gardening.

First, drag this page into the browser tab where there are pages to be annotated.

Second, shift-drag one of the annotations below from this page to the other page. The shift-drag will make a copy of that annotation on the other page.

A page might begin its life as a Whisp. When the author discovers related material on the Internet, they might change the page metadata to a Bookmark. Later, after reviewing the bookmark, the author might collect some interesting quotes and change the metadata to Forage or Insight.

Sometimes a page is more than one thing.

Sometimes a page is work in progress towards publication in some other medium or towards a clear opinion, personal belief, or original idea.
