Editing Guide
We may use this space to document process decisions or simply track style-guide decisions.
For Discussion
- Is there a usefulness and desire to create a more regular structure of “sub-sections” to our wiki entries?
- See Sherwood's example as a possibile guide Law of the Rights of Mother
- Template from example above entry-template
- Should we rename and/or reclassify entries so that information and “commentary” (essay-like) entries are distinguished? Option (flat the section of an entry that is more interpretive as “commentary”
Entry Editing Process
I. Review Tags
We may decide to generate a controlled vocabulary content tags that would serve to create cross references or links to other pages in the wiki. Consider what might be useful-tags for the pages you have recently worked on.
II. Apply Standard Heading and Structural Formatting
Basic Formatting
1. At the top of each page, give the title a heading level of one
====== Title of Page ======
2. Use succinct level 2 headlines to categorize major sections. exs.
==== Context =====
==== Language =====
==== Genre ====
Bullets and Numbered Lists
Succint points can be in lists when it helps clarity
**3. References Listed at bottom **
Include links when possible. Include the most complete publication information available, for sources referenced and quoted.
Should we distinguish “Works Cited” from “Additional References”
III. Images
- When using images, please look for Public Domain or Creative Commons available documents.
- Upload only images less than 500K; smaller is preferable. Resize your found image if necessary.
- Use the “Caption” element to provide a descriptive name for accessibility; add brief source information; see below.
