These are the stylistic and informational requirements for articles
As most of this information is time sensitive, listing the last updated date is important.
Dates need to be in the format yyyy/mm/dd
for example, 2022/12/25
Use Case: If you need to date an article without sections
Put a _Last updated on <date>_
under the metadata table.
Example
---
id: example
title: Example
slug: /example
---
_Last updated on 2020/09/14_
Use Case: If you need to date an article with sections
Because there are many sections, please only date h1 sections(#
) with when it was last updated.
Put a _Last updated on <date>_
under the section header.
Example
---
id: example
title: Example
slug: /example
---
# Example
_Last updated on 2020/09/14_
## Example Sub header
some words
### Example Sub Sub header
some other words
# Example 2
_Last updated on 2019/02/14_
As most of this information is factual, citing of sources is needed.
Primary sources are preferred
Citations are done in the Citations
section at the bottom of the article
The Citations Section has a h1
or #
tag. It is also known as the largest type of header
Use Case: If you need to cite something not under a section
Citations for the whole article are done by putting sources in the Citations
section
Example
---
id: example
title: Example
slug: /example
---
some example words
# Citations
https://example.com/example-source
Use Case: If you need to cite a section
Citations for sections are done under the Citations
section under another section with the name of the section you're trying to cite

slug: /example
