-It would be nice if the layout of the portlogs would be consistent. Unfortunately, (currently) there is no way of enforcing this. Please use the following template:
+
+The layout of the portlogs is controlled by the portlog plug-in.  To create a new portlog page, locate it's [http://www.gentoo-portage.com/ Gentoo Portage] category, then browse to that category's wiki page and add the name of the port you want to add:

-For an example, see [wiki:sys-devel/m4].
+If it doesn't already exists, you will see a warning that it doesn't exists and will have the option to click a link to create a new page for it.  Click that link and fill in the form that follows.  Once the entry is created you'll be able to create a version, once the version is created you'll need to create a revision 1, which is where you'll enter in your build notes.
 
-Don't remove old versions or revisions from the portlog, the information can still be valuable.
+If the portlog already exists check for prior builds, there might be notes already there which could point out things you might have missed.  Don't remove old versions or revisions from the portlog, the information can still be valuable.
