== Structure of the contest problem pages ==
 
When going through this, it is helpful to be looking at an example such as the [[1983 AIME]].
 
* On the main page of a contest there should be link to the <nowiki>[[Contest X Problems and Solutions]]</nowiki> page where '''Contest X''' is the name of the contest.
 
* The '''Problems and Solutions''' page should contain links to each year for which the competition has problems.  These links should be named using the form <nowiki>[[Year Y [Round Z] Contest X]]</nowiki> where the round number is inserted only when applicable.
 
* On the '''Year Y [Round Z] Contest X''' page there should be the following links:
 
** <nowiki>[[Year Y [Round Z] Contest X Problems]]</nowiki>
 
*** This page should contain all of the problems from the test as they appeared on the test.  There should be no links within the problem statements.
 
*** Immediately after each problem there should be a link to <nowiki>[[Year Y [Round Z] Contest X/Problem W | Solution]]</nowiki> where '''W''' is the number of the problem.  On these pages the key terms in the problem statements ''should'' be linked to other articles in the wiki.
 
** <nowiki>[[Year Y [Round Z] Contest X/Answer Key | Answer Key]]</nowiki>
 
** <nowiki>[[Year Y [Round Z] Contest X Problems/Problem 1 | Problem 1]]</nowiki>
 
** <nowiki>[[Year Y [Round Z] Contest X Problems/Problem 2 | Problem 2]]</nowiki>
 
** <math>\vdots</math>
 
*** On each of the individual problem pages, there should a link to the previous problem, the next problem, and the whole exam.  See [[1983 AIME Problems/Problem 8]] for an example.
 
* Finally, at the bottom of the page there should be proper links in the '''See also''' section.
 
 
 
== Quick tips ==
 
* Don't add template pages (i.e. don't create a page for a problem unless you are ready to put the problem statement on it.
 
* On the individual problem pages
 
 
 
== Categorizing problems ==
 
It helps to categorize problems by their type and difficulty.  The following table provides the codes for all of the possible categories for problems.
