Help:Document types

Prefered and allowed document types

Some document types are prefered over others. The reasons for the choice for a specific type are

• sustainability of the type, in other words if the document will still be readable over a long period of time.
• Usability in the wikibase, in other words if the software can handle and show it.

Not all document types are allowed. This can be because of a high risk it could damage the system, or it is not usable within the software.
