Rename proposal for this page and all the pages of the set this page belongs to
editSee the proposal at the Village pump
Original name
editI have reverted this page, as explained in the summary and several other places, to its original name as there is no consensus for the controversial move. I much prefer the list naming myself, but would not be against moving the page to a more general name without the "basic". Please do not move war, but get consensus per WP:BRD etc. See WT:OUTLINE for the controversial failed/disputed policy discussions. There is also a consensus against mathematics articles being moved, generated at the mathematics wikiproject. Verbal chat 16:12, 17 October 2009 (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 00:02, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
