Proposed guidelines edit

Proposed guidelines

This article is envisioned as one of a series documenting year-by-year occurrences pertaining to climate change. The series of articles will provide annual "snapshots" and "status updates" for future historians to determine "what was known, when" and "what happened, when".

Post content that is specific to a particular year. The yearly status of ongoing phenomena or actions is acceptable, but general scientific principles and expansive historical reviews are inappropriate here.

Make the text concise. (Background information, general principles, technical definitions, etc., should be put within citation footnotes, in the "Notes" section, or in other Wikipedia articles.)

Though Wikipedia is not a newspaper, individual events that were important in the then-current year may be appropriate.

Keep each entry brief, ideally a sentence or two.

Keep content organized in meaningfully titled sections (listed below)—not one long list.

Within each section, strive to arrange entries chronologically.

Strive to maintain section titles consistent in articles from year to year.

Initial section structure:
Summaries — (prominent-source surveys putting the year in perspective)

Measurements and statistics — (raw numerical values)

Natural events and phenomena — (natural occurrences contributing to or resulting from climate change)

Actions and goal statements (actions by humans; subsections:)

Science and technology (e.g., measurement techniques, renewable energy technical advances, expeditions, etc.)

Political, economic, legal, and cultural actions (causing or resulting from climate change)

Mitigation goal statements — (e.g., climate emergency declarations, NDCs, net zero pledges, ...)

Adaptation goal statements — (statements re coping with expected effects of climate change)

Public opinion and scientific consensus — (scientific consensus studies, studies of public perceptions, etc.)

Projections — (predictive estimates of future causes, effects, etc.)

Significant publications — (major publications by prominent sources)

See also — (links to other Wikipedia articles)

Notes — (e.g., technical explanations not suitable for body text)

References — (place full citations in bottom section, to keep narrative wikitext more compact)

Please have in mind the translators! edit

Hi!, good afternoon,

I am doing the translation of environmental and climate change articles in chronological order, and I need to leave my complaints here because the methodology that has been used in these pages makes the process of translation into other languages very complex.

To translate articles I rely on the translation tool that Wikipedia has, very useful because it translates the syntax of the templates (such as the references) automatically, so I dedicate my efforts to review the text and its quality when translated.

Now, the way that the references are inserted in type of articles in Wikipedia in English is that they are integrating the complete references inside the listaref template and then inserting <ref name=""> in the paragraphs to be referenced. Is there a reason why it is use this method?.

By using this code structure, the translation tool does not detect these format of references and therefore does not translate them or integrate them into the translated paragraphs. This is why the same amount of time I spent translating I had to spend copying the references and pasting them in each corresponding place in the text.

Please, I ask you to consider this complaint for the next articles you are going to publish, because the way that the code in the article is build now is complex and cumbersome for translation efforts.

I was not aware of the effect of this citation method on translation. Could you please post a link to describe the translator tool? Or are you describing manual translation (by you as a human)?

To explain: I use the abbreviated format name=xxx/ to make it easier for humans to read the wikitext. —RCraig09 (talk) 23:29, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi!, i was using this tool to generate the translations. LuisCG11 (talk) 14:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
