Article Importance

Some articles are more visible than others.

Top Articles

Any SUMO article that receives more than 100,000 desktop views is a top article. These are crucial. Any changes to them must be discussed in depth with other Mozillians.

Smaller Articles

Articles with fewer than 100,000 desktop views are not top articles. Though they are important, changes to these articles likely won’t affect the entire SUMO system.

New Articles

New articles can be categorized in various ways.

If a new article is created for a special purpose like a recent bug or a crucial new feature, treat it as a top article.

If there’s no reason to think that an article will be important right away, treat it as a smaller article.

Change Statuses

Just like articles have varying levels of visibility, so do changes.

Big Changes

Big changes fundamentally change the existing article. They include:

• Adding a new section
• Removing an existing section
• Extensive rewriting (more than simplifying and removing jargon)
• Rewriting section headings
• Reordering sections
• Changing the scope of the article

Minor Changes

Not all changes affect articles in a big way. Minor changes don’t affect what the article is telling readers. Minor changes include:

• Spelling and grammar corrections
• Simplifying existing language and removing jargon
• Fixing issues with wiki markup
• Fixing links
• Updating keywords
