Better structure allows the reader to navigate the page easier and feels more intuitive. The structure should also seek to give maintain cohesiveness throughout the wiki. This aims to give the reader a better experience by using a predictable layout. WikiIslam generally adopts an encyclopedic format (e.g. [[72 Virgins]]), but can also include table/list formatted articles (e.g. [[The Timeline of Muhammad]]). All articles can be adjusted to keep the flow and intuitive feel of the article. | ||
