Talk:Outline of domestic violence

This is not a DAB, rename to Outline

This article should be moved to Outline of domestic violence. A DAB is for many topics that may share a common name, which is not the case here: there's a single meaning for "domestic violence". The way to organize the multiple pages related to a certain topic, when the topic is too small for a wikipedia portal, is by creating an outline. This page, as it is, is already a good starting point for an outline, it just needs to be moved, and remove the template below. Cambalachero (talk) 19:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi! The disambiguation page includes articles with "Domestic violence" in the title, like other disambiguation pages that I've seen when cleaning-up of disambig links. I get your point, though, about the reasoning for creating a disamb page.

I don't see Outline of domestic violence, it appears as a red link and it didn't pop up on a search. Is it named a slightly different name?--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:29, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, I think I get it now: A new page (article) should be started with the name you provided - and then the info moved over. Sure, I'll take care of that.--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought you were a regular user and understood what I was talking about. Yes, it is as you did, using the move button. I had helped a bit and removed the DAB tag at the bottom, added categories, and linked the outline at the template in the begining Cambalachero (talk) 01:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Yep, thanks! My mind went to a general "move" rather than the WP differentiation between move and merge. It was a great idea, I've not been able to add a lot more to the outline! Thanks for the heads up!--CaroleHenson (talk) 02:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Nice job on the outline, by the way. I look forward to seeing your further contributions. The Transhumanist 05:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Monitoring redlinks for new blue links

Embedded navigation templates are often a problem in outlines, because they lack outline formatting and introduce unhelpful redundancy. It is usually best to include links to related articles into the outline as they are created. Toward that end, I've moved the regional nav footers here for monitoring. From here they can be compared with the outline's coverage.

Another problem we've run into concerning navigation templates, is that some editors, upon seeing them in an outline, will go crazy inserting them everywhere or building "outlines" primarily of them. In this sense they tend to propagate like weeds. The Transhumanist 05:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, makes sense. Thanks again, for your help!--CaroleHenson (talk) 07:53, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"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 00:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
