* [[User_talk:Pat_Palmer/sandbox/How_to_create_a_subpages_article_manually]]

To create a CZ subpages article called My_Article:

* create My_Article and add <nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki> as its first line
# use [[CZ:Templates]] to create Template:My_Article/Metadata and populate it with metadata
# create Talk:My_Article and add <nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki> as its first line

# optionally, create My_Article/Related_Articles (optional) and add <nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki> as its first line
# optionally, create My_Article/Bibliography (optional) and add <nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki> as its first line
# optionally, create My_Article/External_Links (optional) and add <nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki> as its first line

# optionally, create My_Article/Definition

== server migrations chores ==
* Migration began on 3/5/2022 (asked users not to edit in old server any more). 
* DNS fully cut over on 3/20/2022.
* old server was shut down on May 20, 2022

===To do (NEW server)===
* test r and rpl templates for bad links to missing definitions, etc
* document new extensions (including ZWI)
* Update this? [[CZ:Extensions]]
* find a way to automate '''create a new page with subpages'''
* '''external links''' not being created (per code added to the bottom of Mediawiki:common.js; works in old server)

== Google Analytics ==
The following articles have seen a fair amount of readership via web searches:
* [[U.S._foreign_policy/Timelines]]
* [[Applied_social_sciences]]
* [[Crop_origins_and_evolution]]

== Workgroup header templates == 
* [[Template:Workgroup]] - frame
* [[Template:WorkgroupNotice]] - banner
* [[Template:WG_articles]] - colored table
* [[Template:Wk gp tbl]] - white background table

Special note:
* [[Template:Workgroup]] - Discussion page (OLD) and Discussion page (NEW) differ; work on spacing to make smaller?

== Other templates == 
Templates to look at sometime:
* [[Template:Editor Policy]]
* [[Template:initiatives]]

* Read this: [[CZ:Managing_Editor/2013/001_%E2%80%93_Modifying_the_Functionality_and_Policy_of_Signed_Articles]]

== Ad verbiage ==
The Citizendium wants to be a small, supportive community of collaborators who work on articles which could not be developed in Wikipedia, that are different from what Wikipedia now offers, though not necessarily either better or worse.   Please understand that we love Wikipedia; most of us consult it several times per day.  But we also understand its limitations, and that's why we support The Citizendium also, not as a competitor but as supplement.  We acknowledge and honor Wikipedia's successes in seeking to be a complete compendium of everything; it would be futile to duplicate that effort.  We also believe that the philosophy of "less is more" sometimes applies, where an important aspect of a topic can be emphasized without trying to include everything known about a given topic in a single article.

The Citizendium provides a different kind of collaborative environment than Wikipedia now offers.  We use real names, and we have a modest number of active authors so that it becomes possible to know each other well.  We strive for objectivity and quality--and civility.  We consider ourselves to be a community.    To help address control issues, we're open to having multiple articles developed on a single topic (to be located via a disambiguation page).  For those who want more fully lead the direction of an article, we allow "lead authors" on articles.  Led articles can still be collaborations, but the declared article leaders are the ones who get to guide the direction and emphasis of the article.

We have no problem whatsoever with people using The Citizendium as a staging area for an article to be copied elsewhere later (such as to Wikipedia, where it will likely be seen by more eyes).  This is legal, with the following caveats: the article remains behind on The Citizendium (may not simply be deleted), and at its new home, attribution is given to The Citizendium as per our site license.  In fact, we find these cases interesting to watch over time, to see how the two parallel articles evolve in their different hosts.

* John S. would prefer first one around New Years
* Larry and several others like Sundays
* possible SCHEDULE:
** start 1 pm England time (6 am EST / 3 am PST)
** end 11 pm Pacific time (2 am EST / 11 pm PST)
* possible themes:
** safe entertainments during a COVID-19 pandemic:   such as: books, writers, films, actors, hobbies
** from John S: animals/pets? Film (actors, directors...)? Planets?
** from Roger Lohmann: Mysteries; not only the huge (and hugely popular) novels that go by that name, but all the other things that could conceivably come under that heading, from the trivial to the profound, from current affairs to deep history. (What happened to Amelia Earhart? Are there really UFO’s? Orson Welles’ radio broadcast. Who and What is God? Are there miracles? Who were the Neanderthals?)
* From Rajendra Raju: There are also themes on (a) Motivation and (b) Technical topics that you may find fit to include. I suppose these would become articles ultimately after being cleared by the editors.

== Lead author template examples ==

Ten examples of the '''''[[:Template:Authors|Authors]]''''' or '''''[[:Template:Contribs|Contribs]]''''' template:

=== AUTHORS: 1 name ===
{{Authors|Jane Doe}}

Note that '1' yields "and another author"; anything else (such as a 'y') yields "and other authors".

* <nowiki>{{Authors|Pat Palmer}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Authors|Pat Palmer|others=1}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Authors|Pat Palmer|others=y}}</nowiki>

=== AUTHORS: multiple names ===
{{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3}}

Let's see how the first one below looks (see right).

* <nowiki>{{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3|Pat Palmer4|others=1}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3|Pat Palmer4|others=y}}</nowiki>

=== CONTRIBS: invisible unless at least 5 contributors ===
{{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=y}}

And how let's see how the Contribs template looks (with 5+ names does).

{{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}

* <nowiki>{{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=1}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=y}}</nowiki>
