Fire fast-track transition review

- [ ] Close all page drafting issues.
- [ ] Send any pages with links, logic, or complexity beyond basic text, to QA

### In each page:

- [ ] Check the Notes tab and see if there’s anything there you can fix before editing.

**Links and PDFs**

- [ ] Links on the page go to trustworthy sources (governments, libraries, universities, community partners)

- [ ] links are written for residents

- [ ] All links go where they’re intended to go.

- [ ] All PDFs and other closed documents are necessary for the user

- [ ] Each PDF has "(PDF, file size in KB or MB)" directly after the link

- [ ] Files are not huge (ideally no more than 1 MB/1,000 KB). If huge, compress it and re-upload it. smallpdf.com is one option.

**Related content**

- [ ] Relevant internal links, contacts, and locations are all there.

- [ ] Pages that need a contact: Service, Department

- [ ] It’s no longer than it needs to be without losing meaning or making it less clear.

- [ ] Nothing is date-specific or written in a way that’ll be outdated soon. If it makes sense for the topic, edit it to be more evergreen.

**Headers**

- [ ] No headers as questions (unless there's really no plainer way to say it)

- [ ] Ensure sentence case

**General proof**

- [ ] Spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, consistency. Does it conform to our style guide? Wherever that doesn't have an answer, check Chicago (log into the VPN for free access) and go with their answer. Merriam-Webster is our dictionary.

- [ ] Remove figurative or flowery language that would be difficult to translate

- [ ] Remove jargon

- [ ] Remove acronyms (unless it's easier to read and understand with the acronym, which is rare but for example, sometimes a noun is more commonly known by its acronym)

- [ ] Define any necessary technical terms.

- [ ] If it's a simple definition, define it inline, such as: Most of the offenses adjudicated—or legally settled—through the court are committed by…

- [ ] If it's a definition that needs 2 or more lines, define it in a terminology list at the bottom of the page and inline notification. For example: The court adjudicates (see Terminology below) cases in the downtown area.

- [ ] Do a reading level check with Hemingway.
If it's above 8th grade, do a plain language editing pass. If it's technical or legal content, get it as low as you can without spending too much time on it.
