### create one. For example, if you've written a tip about configuring

### $SOME_PROGRAM in Debian, don't slap a link to it onto the

### front page. Instead, look for a page listing such tips, and add

### your page to it. If such a tips page doesn't exist, create one, and

### move any other tips from the front page to it. Make the wiki better

### organised, not just bigger!

###

### If you'd still like to see your page featured on the front page,

### consider using the SpotLight, below, for this. This can be used to

### let your page show up on the front page, until the next big
