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 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Organization Discussion

[edit]

The guideline for finishing this outline from the community portal was to move articles from the See Also section to the main outline section. To do so would require new categories in the outline and ultimately distinguish it from the index of solar energy articles

Does anyone have proper categories to organize solar energy articles? I will soon add an informal draft of the outline here if there is no response. Houdinipeter (talk) 23:19, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
