==Article Structure== | |||
The [[Wiki]] approach and the [[features|original vision]] can be brought closer by using strictly named subarticles that are then collated into a viewable document on-demand for the [[consumer]] based on her/his [[preferences]] | |||
Advantages include: | |||
*Consumer can specify what information s/he wishes to view and in what order in each case | |||
*Good for internationalization since translation can progress subarticle-by-subarticle | |||
*Finer grained version control and approvance (signatures) | |||
*Performance gains over monolithic articles (?) | |||
*Good for maintaining historical information | |||
*Editors know where to find the portions they have most knowledge of | |||
*Useful for efficiently mixing autogenerated portions with manually edited ones | |||
*Less Wiki Veteran Annoyance due to quicker comprehension of small separate syntax guides instead of one big lump of do's and dont's | |||
Depending on the type of article there are varying needs of: | |||
*Mandatory subarticles | |||
*Optional subarticles | |||
When thinking about companies an outline of subarticle structure might be something like | |||
* [[Company X]] - containing [[product group]]s, [[brand]]s, [[product]]s etc. | |||
* [[Company X/ids]] (mandatory) - registered names, national registry numbers, d-u-n-s, stock symbols etc. | |||
* [[Company X/economy]] - subpaging further like [[Company X/economy/2003Q4]] | |||
* [[Company X/history]] | |||
* [[Company X/affiliated businesses]] | |||
* [[Company X/executives]] | |||
* [[Company X/advertising]] | |||
* [[Company X/labor practices]] | |||
* [[Company X/workplace upgrade requests]] | |||
* ... | |||
