Make it easier for your employees to get organized

File systems mostly offer a single "one-size-must-fit-all" view on your organization's information. Relevant resources may be buried deeply in directory paths. This requires your new employee to learn and memorize ways of accessing things. Those ways are not necessarily logical but may have grown organically.

The reason why illogical directory paths persist is simple: on one hand, "either-or-filing" in folders forbids "as-well-as-filing" according to topics, and on the other hand all existing employees might have happily memorized directory paths. So you wouldn't want to break their work setup in favor of making life easier for your new employees.

And your company might even benefit from your employee's "fresh view" allowing you to improve your corporate terminology. SMW's capability to efficiently rename things allows you to honour the boyscout rule.

Make it easier for your employees to be up-to-date

Make it easier for your employees to gain deeper understanding

For many corporate tasks and positions, people have to learn more than just procedures and practices. They need to gather understanding, which is obtained by grinding through and studying things. One aspect that facilitates understanding the present is to know about how things developed in the past.

Feature "MediaWiki View History" enables full insight into how a piece of information was created and how it developed into how it looks today. Heeding Principle "Revisions Accounted For (RAF)" it also allows the student to refer back to revision authors for further explanations.
