To make the work of CfF wiki editors and writers easier, here are the outlines of the main types of articles. These outlines are empty pages containing a proposed structure of titles and some remarks for editors (hidden text visible when you're editing the article). Writers can rearrange the structure of titles when necessary, but for the sake of consistency, it is preferable to stick to the structure as much as possible. Here we use the term outline to avoid confusion since template is a technical term in wiki jargon.
Article outlines
- Organisation/network article outline gives a framework for international organisations with branches in a number of European countries, such as ECOLISE or Zero Waste Europe. It can be used for smaller organisations too by deleting the irrelevant titles.
- Event article outline is for recurring events such as conferences, festivals, assemblies etc. such as World Cleanup Day.
- Concept article outline frames articles on concepts, theories, models etc. underlying community-led action on climate change and sustainability. Degrowth, for example, is a concept behind the Degrowth movement.
More outlines will be added in the future for relevant types of articles, such as case-studies, projects etc.
How to use the outlines
- In one window/tab click on the desired outline listed above. When it opens, click on "edit source". When the window opens, select the entire text and copy it.
- In another window/tab in your browser open CfF wiki and start your own article in "edit source" mode. Paste the outline into the window.
- Continue by adding text to create the article and finally save it. If you're more comfortable editing the text in the visual editor, first save and then do edits with visual editor.
- At the top of the article is the event box -- fill in the information you know and leave the rest empty.
Wikicode in the outline
- Leave the {{PAGENAME}} as it is -- it inserts the name of the page in titles so you don't need to type it out every time. If it's not appropriate, change it manually.
- Leave __TOC__ where it is! That's the wiki code for "table of contents".
