==Page Classification== | |||
To maintain organization for the development of Halachipedia's content, there is a ranking system of pages. Every content page should fall into one of the following categories: | |||
# Stub - The page has less than 3 halacha's. | |||
# Lacking - The page has anywhere from 3 to 10 halacha's. | |||
# Okay - The page still can be improved significantly. Either it lacks content depending on the topic, it lacks structure, or needs updating. | |||
# Good - The page can still be improved. It can have more content, pictures, or organization. | |||
# Done - The page is a finished product. It can only be edited by administrators. | |||
These classifications will look as follows: | |||
{{Stub}} | |||
{{Lacking}} | |||
{{Okay}} | |||
{{Good}} | |||
{{Done}} | |||
Please help us implement this classification system. Once in place, we can use them to work on the pages which need the most attention first, by seeing the following lists: | |||
[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Stub]] | |||
[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Lacking]] | |||
[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Okay]] | |||
[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Good]] | |||
[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Done]] | |||
