editHow to maintain the Architecture Repository
Last updated: 2022-12-16 by APaskulin (WMF)
Status: Ongoing development
Page format
editAll subpages of Architecture Repository must start with:
{{Architecture Repository}}
<div style="max-width:1000px; padding-left:20px;">
= {{SUBPAGENAME}} =
<section begin=excerpt/>ADD_EXCERPT_HERE<section end=excerpt/>
{{Last updated}}<br>
'''Status''': ADD_STATUS_HERE
{{toclimit|align=right}}
Excerpt
editThe excerpt must be a short description of the subject of the page, no longer than one sentence. It may be a sentence fragment. Excerpts appear at the top of the page and are used on navigation pages. To use an excerpt on a navigation page, add the following template:
{{Excerpt|ADD_PAGE_NAME_HERE|fragment=excerpt|hat=no}}
Table of contents
editFor a left-aligned table of content, {{toclimit|align=right}} may be replaced with __TOC__. For landing pages or short pages, {{toclimit|align=right}} may be replaced with __NOTOC__.
Status
editThe page status field provides helpful context around the state of a document. Page statues can be customized to include any useful information. Here are a few example statues used in the Repository:
- Draft
- Page content is incomplete, pending review, or otherwise not finalized.
- Ongoing development
- Page content is valid and reliable but can be expected to change periodically, most likely by addition. This is a useful status for landing pages and lists.
- v1 released January 1, 2020
- v2 released December 1, 2020, added lessons learned
- Page content was finalized on the date listed. The version number should start at 1 and increment whenever a significant change has been made. Incremented versions should include a brief note about the change made, relying on page history for a complete diff. Dates must be written out fully to avoid confusion between date formats.
Max width
editThe maximum width and padding styles are intended to improve readability[1] and create a consistent layout across the Repository.
