Content Categorization Guide

One of the most important goals, besides including high quality article with complete references, is to properly categorize the content of Structural Wiki.

Types of Content

  • portals - introduction for a given topic
  • regular wiki pages - pages dealing with a specific topic (term definition, design example)
  • galleries - grouping of related picture or photographs

Portals

A portal is introductory page for a given topic. List of portals provides a list of existing or proposed portals.

Topics and Grouping of Pages

For any given topic, such as bearing design or plate design, the following types of content are relevant:

  • overall concept (from general idea to specific, code-based treatment)
  • design guidelines
  • derivation of underlying equations
  • construction procedures
  • design examples
  • sample drawings and details
  • failures
  • photographs
  • inspection procedures
  • references

All pages related to a topic will be interlinked by using navigation boxes to simplify navigation.

Navigation Boxes

Navigation boxes are used to simplify navigation within a given topic.

Categories

Categories enable broader navigation over related wiki pages, not necessarily belonging to a given topic.


Templates

Templates are used to set up navigation boxes and other content.
