Style guidelines

Creating a new page

Every page should have the following at the bottom:

==References==

{{Reflist}}

[[Category:XXX]]

[[Category:XXX]]

Research pages

Pages that document research should have, in addition, a block listing the authors, in the order they are listed in the paper in question. This should immediately precede the References section

== Authors ==

* [[Author 1]]

* [[Author 2]]

==References==

{{Reflist}}

[[Category:Research]]

[[Category:XXX]]

People

Where relevant, the first section for a page about a person should be Positions held, listing in chronological order the positions that person has held (first by start date, then by end date if necessary.):

== Positions held ==

* <start year> - <end year> - position held

* <start year> - <end year> - position held

==References==

{{Reflist}}

[[Category:People]]

[[Category:XXX]]

References

References should use the Cite extension. As mentioned above, every page should have the {{Reflist}} directive.

The format of references should follow the following format, with the second being used for the first instance of a repeated reference, and third for subsequent instances:

<ref>[http://www.example.com/directory/page.php Page title] - Site name</ref>

<ref name="shortname">[http://www.example.com/directory/page.php Page title] - Site name</ref>

<ref name="shortname" />

Quotations

There are (currently) 10 quotation templates with different colours:

{{quote|quoted text here}}

{{quote2|quoted text here}}

{{quote3|quoted text here}}

{{quote4|quoted text here}}

{{quote5|quoted text here}}

{{quote6|quoted text here}}

{{quote7|quoted text here}}

{{quote8|quoted text here}}

{{quote9|quoted text here}}

Prefer to use the earlier ones to the latter ones (since the colours may change,) and unless it's necessary to clearly show that two different sources are being quoted (for example a conversation) try to stick to just one; {{quote|...}}
