Comprehensiveness

  • The documentation should explain the working of a feature thoroughly
  • Often the paragraphs and definitions lack clarity, it should be clear and comprehensive enough for new users to understand it
  • All "features" i.e., non-mandatory fields should also be explained in the documentation
  • If something can be seen on the screen, its features should be documented and explained

Grammar and spellcheck

  • Run the text across a grammar and spellcheck tool like Grammarly.
  • Check for and correct any errors.
  • Should in English US, not UK. Set system language and Grammarly language to English US to show correct suggestions.

Sentence voice

  • Should be active voice and not passive

Screenshots/images

  • All screenshots and examples should be in USD currency ($)
  • Should have little padding on either side
  • Effect should same as achieved on a Macbook Air with screen resolution set at 1280x800
  • Screenshots should be placed in respective appropriate folders
  • Subfolders under a module for screenshots are avoided for easier upgrades and maintenance
  • Check if all image URL paths in the text also have corresponding image files attached in the PR, easier way for large PRs is to pull it locally and check

Index/contents

  • When a new page is added, check whether the PR also contains index listing in contents.md for the module
