Revision as of 12:15, 1 October 2014

Page names / Titles

Do not use 'Ltd' / 'plc' and similar in page titles as companies change their legal status during their life-time

Page content

Body text should be short paragraphs (unbulleted) and commence with a year or date whenever possible.

Paragraphs are listed in date order ascending, so list by earliest reference first.

Try and give the reference to each paragraph of information using the 'ref' button in the edit bar above.

Edit Tab Function Buttons

When using the 'Edit Tab', edit function buttons will appear to aid your creation and organisation of your page.

Bold, Italic text and clickable links to other Grace's Guide pages can be achieved by using the edit buttons where necessary.

External 'Hyper'links can also be added using the button on the function bar above.

To segment your content into subject areas, use the 'capital A' button from the edit options. It will automatically generate a contents section at the top of the page when several of these 'level 2 headlines are added.

Adding an image

The house style is to use thumbnail images, aligned to the right, in chronologically ascending order.

To add a thumbnail image, aligned right, view the edit tab on the Test image position for script and Test: Linking Images for the general procedure and tips.

Category Assignment and Defaultsort

Please assign as many suitable categories as possible referring to the 'All Categories list' as necessary.

Particularly for pages made with a name as the title, please add in the default sort script the Surname first followed by Forenames, so that it will appear in the correctly in alphabetical order within it's category listings.

Note, although this is largely applicable to 'People Pages', it will also be the case with ships, starting with SS or HMS for example and any pages with prefixes.

Footer

All pages need the following code at the bottom (immediately before the 'Category' tag) (Use Edit tab to see the code)
