Merger
editI suggest this article is merged with List of basic entertainment topics. Auroranorth 08:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. Entertainment is a huge subject, two of its branches are performing arts and visual arts. Each of those branches has its own list. The Transhumanist (talk) 01:15, 26 November 2007 (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 00:08, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
