Line 14: *'''Add 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. As a general principle, when building something on Wikipedia, consider how it might pan out 10 years or even 50 or 100 years into the future. This doesn't mean that every system needs to be entirely maintenance free (which would be impossible), but if maintenance is so complicated or tedious that no one but you would reasonably do it, it's guaranteed to eventually fail. ~~By following these best practices, you will increase the likelihood that pages will endure and retain their quality into the future.~~ Overall, Wikipedia is an endeavor that hopes to survive over the long term, and contributions that survive over that period will have a far greater impact than those that don't.
