Article Description
Before Mozillians can write the text for a new article, they must fill out the description. Here is how to do that.
- The title should describe what the article shows the reader. Do not begin the title with the word “How.” Most articles show readers how to do something. If all procedural articles began with “How,” it would be difficult to alphabetize articles. Try “Joining a Conversation” rather than “How to Join a Conversation.”
- The slug will automatically create itself based on the article’s title. For example, “Joining a Conversation” becomes “joining-conversation.”
- Choose a category based on what this article is meant to do. Does this article show readers how to do something with a Firefox app? Choose
- What is this article relevant to? Does it deal with Firefox, Firefox for iOS, Firefox for Android, etc? Choose as many categories as you need.
- In
- Most articles are related to other articles. Type in the beginning of the name of a related article. The computer will automatically find related articles that you can click. Add all related articles that apply.
- Add keywords. For example, in an article about joining a conversation in Firefox Hello, you might type in Firefox Hello and Video Chat.
- In search results summary, type in a sentence or two that explains what the article shows. Try to include keywords in those sentences. This helps search engines find the article.
