That's what I have in mind, per Talk:September 11 attacks. I'm by no means committed to this format, so feel free to change, or start another page. They can always be renamed or merged later. Tom Harrison Talk 17:44, 10 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

That's all I'm going to do for now. I don't want to go too far until we have a better structure. Someone with a talent for it might reorganize the page, and I'd appreciate it. Tom Harrison Talk 17:57, 10 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

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 00:11, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
