Style guide

[edit]

Article titles

[edit]
  • The bold text at the beginning of the article is the article name, and is to be used as the article title.
  • If the article name ends in a period, drop the period unless it's an abbreviation like "&c." or "Abbr."
  • If the article name is in Greek or another alphabet, then the article title will also be in the Greek or other alphabet.
  • If the article name contains [square brackets], replace them with (parentheses).
  • If the article name contains non-bold text, include that non-bold text in the title.
  • Disambiguate articles the same way we disambiguate pages on Wikisource. Works by author, then by date; authors by dates of birth and death.
  • If there is still question of how to proceed, discuss below.

Linking

[edit]

This work mentions a lot of other works and authors. For the sake of expediency, linking should be kept to a minimum.

The following items should be linked:

  • For articles about authors, the bold text at the beginning should link to the author page.
  • For articles about hymns, the bold text should link to the work, and the author should be linked also.
  • Lists of translations or editions should be linked
  • Linking to other DoH articles should be done if this is obviously intended. Such links are often formatted [like this]. The template {{DoH lkpl}} can be used for the link itself.

Templates

[edit]
  • Use {{DoH footer initials}} for footer initials.
  • Use formatting such as that generated by {{DoH header}} for page headers ... though whether the template itself is useful or not may be worth discussing further.
