Fill out an article description before writing an article.

Before contributors can write the content for a new article, they must fill out a description. By categorizing an article like this, readers can find the article more easily. Here is how to do this. {note}'''Note:''' All contributors can include a description (title, category, relevant product, etc.) when [[Create a new Knowledge Base article|creating a new article]] but after the article is approved, the Description field can only be edited by reviewers. For more information about editing the Description for existing articles, see [[Edit a Knowledge Base article#w_edit-description-reviewers-only]].{/note} __TOC__ =Title= The title of an article should clearly describe what the article shows the reader. Avoid beginning the title with the word ''How''. Since most articles provide procedural guidance, starting each title with ''How'' would make alphabetizing difficult and cluttered. For example, instead of ''How to change your New Tab background,'' use ''Change your New Tab background''. ==Title requeriments by article type== Different types of articles have specific requirements to ensure titles are clear and helpful for users. *'''How-to articles''': Use action verbs to clearly indicate the task. Example: ''Change Your New Tab Background''. *'''About articles''': Focus on the concept or feature being explained. Example: ''Understand Firefox Extensions''. *'''Troubleshooting articles''': Describe the issue and include an action-oriented solution. *'''FAQ articles''': Clearly state the topic or common question. Example: ''Mozilla VPN - FAQ''. ;[[Image:New article - title]] For specific writing guidelines for each article type, please see: *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-article-type-best-practices "How-to" article type best practices] *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-article-type-best-practices "About" article type best practices] *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshooting-article-type-best-practices "Troubleshooting" article type best practices] *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/faq-article-type-best-practices "FAQ" article type best practices] <!-- for some reason the wikilinks were not working on Kitsune - using regular links for now - please recheck this on future updates --> =Slug= The slug is the link to the article. Keep it short. The slug for “Joining a Conversation” might become “joining-conversation.” ;[[Image:New article - slug]] =Category= Choose a category based on what this article is meant to do.

Doing so will lower the amount of points awarded to your keyword, resulting in your article's search ranking diminishing.

Provide a textual overview or definition of the concept and introduce the FAQ. Limit the summary to 140 characters, as search engines may cut off anything longer. ;[[Image:New article- search summary]] =Knowledge Base guidelines= To see more guidelines on Knowledge Base contribution, click [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/contributor/kb here].
