* As articles are reviewed they will be given a new category – it will either '''be “Move”''' or '''“Delete”.'''  We are not reviewing these documents for accuracy – just to see if they are relevant now and if we feel that they should be moved over to the new wiki.

'''Things to Remember'''
 
 
 
* On <nowiki>learn.winona.ed</nowiki>u hyperlinks will work whether they are updated or not – they will still be pointing back to the TLT Wiki which will still be live.  Because it is still live the links will work. 
 
** You have to make sure that the hyperlinks read '''''<nowiki>http://learn.winona.ed</nowiki>u/'''Microsoft_Outlook_Live'' and not '''''<nowiki>http://edutech.tlt.winona.ed</nowiki>u/wikis/TLTPedia<nowiki>/index.ph</nowiki>p/'''Microsoft_Outlook_Live''
 
** I have added another category “Category: Check Links” for articles that we need to go back to and update the links if there are any.  This is mostly for any that you notice as we review these pages after we have them moved over.
 
* '''Name the articles exactly the same on <nowiki>learn.winona.ed</nowiki>u''' as they are on the TLT Wiki.  This way internal links will work when everything is copied over.
 
** '''Capitalization is key! ''' Please make sure that you copy over the name EXACTLY as it is in the TLT wiki – capitalization and all!!
