Introduction

The Citizendium is in a pilot and proposal stage in developing a number of subpage types and proposed subpage templates. Our aim is to expand the scope of the Citizendium to include a number of different information types (such as this gallery page). A pilot project will help us get some experience with the whole idea of subpages and subprojects. One of the most expanded demonstration of the subpage content can be viewed at Biology/Draft.

List of subpage types

For various reasons, we will want to keep a canonical list of subpage types, and ask people to create subpages only of the types listed.

We'll also distinguish between default (required) subpages and optional subpages. Links to the default subpages will appear even if they have not yet been created, while links to optional subpages will be created only if they exist.

Please use the listed "page header" at the top of subpages, in addition to the {{subpages}} template.

Default subpages

Optional subpages

  • Discography
  • Works
  • Tables: one or more pages containing almanac-type information about some aspect of the topic, in tabular form; see, e.g., catalog of religions) (page header: {{tables header}})
  • Gallery: an image gallery (page header: {{gallery header}})
  • Timelines: one or more pages giving a timeline about some aspect of the topic (page header: {{timelines header}})
  • Tutorials: one or more pages that introduce a topic specifically for students; would be focused on more "practical" aspects of the topic, have more examples, and even perhaps some problems at the bottom of the page (page header: {{tutorials header}})
  • Signed articles: one or more possibly "biased" articles written exclusively by real experts, and signed

Planned subpage projects

The following projects will not be included in the initial subpage pilot (probably):

  • Debate guide: one or more pages giving a "map of the dialectical landscape," an account of the arguments on all sides of a controversial issue about the topic; if important to read "map", give dates arguments introduced, a timeline
  • News guide: one or more pages summarizing of ongoing stories about the topic (such that a story itself will probably not become its own encyclopedia article!)
