Structurism is a broad editing philosophy emphasizing interconnection, organization, and uniformity as the best way to improve the usefulness of content across all Wikimedia projects. Structurism provides five interconnected advantages to users and editors, by making Wikipedia:
1. Navigable
Allows users to find relevant content quickly and easily
2. Accessible
Allows all users—including impaired and mobile users—to access content
3. Intelligible
Allows users to understand content
4. Editable
Allows users to improve existing content
5. Translatable
Allows users (and bots) to parse and migrate content to other languages and sister projects
Wikipedia provides a large array of structural tools. To become a more effective structurist, familiarize yourself with these tools and apply them as appropriate. Some tools, like wikilinking and categorization, will apply to nearly every page you work on. Others, like maps and tables, will only apply to some pages.
