Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"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 00:02, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

The map at the top of this page doesn’t seem to include Virginia’s eastern peninsula, which is separated from the rest of the state by the Chesapeake Bay 2601:5CD:4180:42A0:4C0A:C035:DEF8:9983 (talk) 15:43, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
