 This Wiki is supposed to be a contact point for people who don't know much, or anything about the Fediverse yet.
-So especially the [[Main Page]], [[What is the Fediverse?]] and other [[Category:Beginners guide]]s should be written in simple and easy to understand English. <br>
+<!--T:2-->
-Other pages in the category [[Caregory:Advanced]] are meant for advanced users, but should still be written as understandable as possible.

+We want to advocate for the Fediverse and it's projects here, not write in a neutral tone like Wikipedia. <br>
+On the [[:Category:Beginners guide | beginners pages]] we do that by highlighting the benefits of the Fediverse, without going in too much detail about the horrors of traditional social media. <br>
+We can then go deeper in additional pages.
