consecutive paragraphs. If you really want someone to read the last line of a paragraph, '''''use italics or bold text'''''.
 
== Relevant Links ==
I try to include a relevant links section on each page. For lessons, these all have a prev/next link, to view the lessons in order. Additionally, I try to link highly-related content. This doesn't need to be taken to the extreme, though. That's what the categories are for.
 
== Categories ==
[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories Categories] are essentially tags that allow you to find all pages relevant for a single tag or concept. I have a default set of categories that corresponds to the breakdown of the table of contents as well as others that may span a small number of pages. There is no need to make a category that only has 1 member page, unless you plan on there being additional pages that fit the category.
 
You can see all the [[Special:Categories|existing categories here]].
 
== Q/A ==
I like all my pages to have a Q/A section. This gives kind of a crowd-sourced lesson feel, where as a reader is progressing through the lesson, he may encounter some confusion and can add the question to the Q/A section. Someone with the answer may notice an unanswered question and post the answer. I like to use an unordered list for the questions, with the answer(s) nested underneath as follows:
 
* Is this a question?
** Yes, it is.
* '''Here's an unanswered question.'''
