Line 13:
*'''Use full citations''' rather than bare URLs to guard against [[WP:link rot|link rot]].
*'''Add incoming links, redirects, and categories''' to make pages (particularly in the project and template spaces) easy to find so that they are less likely to be recreated by someone unaware of them.
*'''{{if admin|[[Wikipedia:Protection policy|Protect]] pages|Request that pages be [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protected]]}} at an appropriate level''' to make them as accessible as possible without inviting vandalism.
As a general principle, when building something on Wikipedia, envision it 10 years or even 50 or 100 years in the future. This doesn't mean every system must be entirely maintenance free (which would be impossible), but if maintenance is so complicated or tedious that only you would reasonably do it, it's sure to eventually fail.
