Please keep to to the conventions below so that the guide indexes nicely and it's easy for people to find things. |
I don't want to be all dogmatic and stuff, but I think it would help if we all kept to a reasonably common set of naming conventions so that the guide indexes nicely and it's easy for people to find things. |

First off, creating pages. You should read [[Scope of the guide]] to find out whether the page is appropriate for this guide. Naming pages: "The" should be left off the beginning of names. If you want to link to a place starting with "The", make the link [ [ Whatsit | The Whatsit ] ]. If a thing has multiple branches, the correct format is "Acme (Broad Street)". <b>Categories</b> * Category names should be plural; Restaurants, not "Restaurant". * Important categories are: [[Category Pubs|Pubs]], [[Category Restaurants|Restaurants]], [[Category Colleges|Colleges]], [[Category Societies|Societies]], [[Category Off Licences|Off Licences]]. <b>Locales</b> * I initially copied the locales from http://www.earth.li/~kake/vegan-oxford/ * Important streets get their own locales, with the category of "Streets". <b>Addresses</b> * Oxford is implied, so should be left out. <b>Phone numbers</b> * 01865 is implied, so should be left out. <b>Punctuation</b> * Saint is abbreviated to St. with a full stop after it. This is to aid cross referencing between entries. <b>Images</b> * Inline images are permitted by the configuration; however, please do not include anything other than small icons except where absolutely necessary; it helps keep the page load size down and removes distractions from the content. By all means include links to photos, or see [[Photo Policy]] for a more integrated way of submitting photos to the guide. <b>Maps</b> * Only include a map URL if it gives more information than the Streetmap one (e.g. a map provided by the establishment's web site); otherwise, just fill in the co-ordinates and the streetmap URL will automatically be generated when viewing the page. This has the advantage that if streetmap changes their URL scheme, or a different mapping site becomes preferred, we can update all the map links in one fell swoop. <b>Writing style</b> The only comment I have at the moment is that whereever possible, additions to entries should where possible be integrated into the existing text, rather than added as a comment. Exceptions would be if there is an obviously differing opinions, |
