Gather topics please
[edit]Please add topics you feel should be presented on the outline under the most appropriate heading in alphabetical order - or add a new heading if it is needed. Looking through the articles we've linked to I've seen some with 'multiple issues' and others with no refs etc. I am going to concentrate on improving the worst first (if I can) but think it will help if you put a 'see also' link and cut and paste the following Template to the top of the Talk page so it stands out: Thanks Thruxton (talk) 15:41, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

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 00:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
