ProleWiki:Pearl growing

This page is an informational essay. The contents of this page are not offical rules, but instead common practices among editors.

Pearl growing is a metaphor used in information literacy where someone takes distinct facts and turns them into larger networks of knowledge, much like how pearls begin as small bits of sand within a clam.

At ProleWiki (and all other wikis) we encourage the creation of important pages that can be used to further research into a topic. You don't need to feel like a page is "complete" when creating it, just get the page started and we'll continue growing the "pearl" of the page.
