The “Overview” is a short text introducing the reader to the general topic of your article. This will help the reader to evaluate the article's relevance for him / her. Furthermore, by clearly explaining the subject, the reader will be better prepared for the following details. Background information can be given here as well as relevant definitions of important aspects.
The main part includes the specific paragraphs and subparagraphs and if you have also further information.
Paragraphs are used to structure texts and to make it easier for readers to follow the article's argumentation line.
A paragraph compromises several sentences which focus on one idea, argument or aspects.
The headings automatically appear in the table of contents on top of each article (once there are at least 3 headings).
If you have any further information to the specific topic this paragraph is the place to list it. However energypedia should not become a link list. Whenever this information can be included into your article this is the better solution.
In order to ensure the quality, confirmability and trust in energypedia's articles we highly encourage all authors to make extensive use of references and footnotes if the quote from other sources directly or indirectly.
Furthermore you might use these footnotes to make minor comments that did not fit in the flow of the main text but are still worthwhile sharing.
Links are especially important for other users to get further information on the topic and it's a possibility to keep each article as short and precise as possible as you can "link" to the deeper level of your information instead of cramming it into one huge paragraph and repeating information that has been documented already somewhere else extensively.
Links also help to structure the wiki so that individual articles do not get lost. On energypedia we usualy distinguish between two different types of links:
