-How we [[process]] our data+----
  
-===== Training documentation =====+===== Coming from Another Wiki? =====
  
-  * [[Training for lawyers]] +If you've edited on Wikipedia, Fandom, or other MediaWiki-based platforms, you'll feel at home here. Lexipedia runs on **DokuWiki**, which shares many core concepts but has a simpler syntax.
-  * [[Training for business process advisors]] +
-  * Technical [[documentation]]+
  
-===== Intended Audiences =====+**Key similarities:** 
 +  * Pages are edited with wiki markup (just like you're used to) 
 +  * Links use bracket notation: ''<nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki>'' works just like MediaWiki 
 +  * Talk pages, revisions, and recent changes all work the same way 
 +  * Community-driven editing with transparent revision history
  
-  * People starting businesses +**Key differences from MediaWiki:** 
-    * Learn how to start a business with clear step-by-step instructions +  * DokuWiki uses plain text files instead of a database — simpler, lighter, and easier to back up 
-    * Create a record of how and why you made the choices you made along the way+  * Headings use ''<nowiki>====== H1 ======</nowiki>'' instead of ''<nowiki>= H1 =</nowiki>'' (more equals signs = higher level) 
 +  * Bold is ''<nowiki>**bold**</nowiki>'' instead of ''<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>'' 
 +  * No templates or Lua scripting — the focus here is on clean, readable content 
 +  * See the full [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax|DokuWiki syntax guide]] for a complete reference
  
 +If you're coming from tools like Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs, the wiki approach may be new to you — but DokuWiki is one of the simplest wikis to learn. The [[Quick Start Guide]] will have you editing in minutes.

 + 
 +=== Wikipedia === 
 +Wikipedia's multi-tiered dispute resolution system is a major focus for Lexipedia — it's one of the most developed examples of community governance on the internet. 
 + 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dispute_resolution|Wikipedia Dispute Resolution Overview]] — Full BPMN model of the escalation process from talk pages through arbitration 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dr_talk_page|Talk Page Discussion]] — The first step: direct editor-to-editor discussion 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dr_third_opinion|Third Opinion (3O)]] — Requesting an uninvolved editor's perspective 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dr_noticeboard|Dispute Resolution Noticeboard (DRN)]] — Structured volunteer-assisted resolution 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dr_mediation|Mediation]] — Mediation Committee facilitated resolution 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dr_arbitration|Arbitration (ArbCom)]] — Binding decisions from the Arbitration Committee 
 +  * [[wikipedia_dr_admin_intervention|Administrator Intervention]] — Admin actions for policy violations during disputes 
 + 
 +These models demonstrate how online communities can build transparent, process-driven governance — and they're a great example of how Lexipedia can document processes beyond traditional legal jurisdictions.
