Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

[edit]

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:52, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion and possible solution

[edit]

There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:External links#Exceptions and this type article maybe an actual solution to a problem. I am just going to notify some of the editors here for possible comments or ideas. I just picked names from the history so sorry to disturb anyone not interested.
