* Maintain the Microsoft KB structure as much as possible. See [[/216417/]] for an example. Headings should be in H2 form (that is, <code><nowiki>== title == </nowiki></code>).
See [[/Guidelines/]].
* Do not blindly copy-paste to the wiki - make sure that the formatting is correct.
* Standard wiki rules with attribution apply - which means that you must attribute the source if you got it from, say, web.archive. Include the link in "Sources".
* It is fine to add links to other parts of the wiki (for example one to Windows 2000 as can be seen in the sample article).

This is a new part of the wiki - an archive of all Microsoft KB articles (currently with >210000 articles). And perhaps the only archive where you can help make it better and more complete!

See A guide to mass-adding files for a guide on how this was done. This could also be adapted for other situations as well.
