			Many places someone can meaningfully contribute to the wiki.

			* Content -- subject-matter content about the space -- ''this looks like:'' editing relevant wiki pages to improve a reader's understanding of the outside world
			** (Talk pages, discussion)
			** Content-structure -- templates, categories, guilds, maintainers -- helping track people who make updates, and the links that others navigate to build up pages.
			** (Preferences, scripts, & styling -- tested & developed in private views on your own account, before possibly sharing later. interwiki link configuration.
			* MediaWiki configuration -- (LocalSettings.php), Extensions, maintenance scripts, database, php-object & page caching
			** web server configuration, caching, currently Caddy -- (HAProxy could support better load shedding behavior)

			Factors of similarity include:
			* Blast radius -- number of people: 1, many, all / defaults. User:[you]/custom.css, User:[you]/custom.js, ...
			* Blast radius -- number of pages: 1, many, all. Extensions or features that break, or make the wiki unavailable, increase load to unusability.

			===Conflicts with [[template:headerbox\|headerbox]] use===
			Page Previews relies on 2 extensions for extracting text and images. The text extraction plugin, uses some carefully developer heuristics to part out irrelevant context at the start of a page, so that it can display a crisp summary to users hovering on mouseover.

			====Lessons learned====
			In the interest of keeping the wiki editable and maintainable, it's helpful to use semantically appropriate template names for the level of page. <code><nowiki>{{introBox}}</nowiki></code> (or <code><nowiki>{{box/intro}}</nowiki></code>) for the elements, would help distinguish from [[Template:Home]] or multi-level, navigation headerbox use—which is pretty semantically different from page introduction.

			There's a helpful pattern in [[template:t\|<code><nowiki>{{t}}</nowiki></code>]], that can, with judicious use of '''Show preview''', help editors navigate to helpful & appropriate templates within the context of editing a single page—and without the need to memorize our wiki's whole library of particular key words & pages, nor toggle to other pages merely for help with local wiki syntax.
