Content must be '''relevant''' to a pathology practitioner. Every entry must directly tell the reader what to do in a certain situation, or contain the most relevant information that is needed for a such entry.

	The organization of articles, as well as gross and microscopic examinations within articles, must be '''finding-based''' rather than diagnosis-based (as in form example [[Kidney autopsy#Microscopic evaluation]]), since it is oriented towards readers who presumably have a case at hand where they don't yet know the diagnosis. It should also be assumed that the readers do ''not know the names'' for the pathologic findings at hand, ''nor which conditions'' are causing them when needing to use Patholines in the situation at hand.

It should also be assumed that the readers do ''not know the names'' for the pathologic findings at hand, ''nor which conditions'' are causing them when needing to use Patholines in the situation at hand. Thus, findings should be given by images, followed by how to integrate their absence or presence to point toward the most likely diagnosis or differential diagnoses.

			Similarly, preferably avoid sequencing of images into '''"a, b, c, etc"'''. If a caption needs to say more than "upper right" or similar, then make it a separate image and give it a separate caption.

	The '''image description''' should mention the purpose or relevance of each mentioned finding (such as "Typical features of the condition are as follows:").

	Images should be large enough in articles to clearly '''show''' their relevant findings, even without clicking on them to see larger versions.

	There may be variations in the level structure, such as additional levels between the ones above, or articles about diseases in specific locations or by a specific modality.		There may be variations in the level structure, such as additional levels between the ones above, or articles about diseases in specific locations or by a specific modality. However, Patholines should as much as possible be presentation-based, so that users can learn how to favor or disprove the differential diagnoses of the presentations they see.

	By linking to further information in other articles, each article should be kept short enough to be read conveniently for a pathologist working with the subject at hand.
