User:公的驱逐舰/Grand plan

This is One-Six's own grand plan on building a rule set for EN MGP.

Naming custom

• Category
  • use all lowercase (except for the automatically capitalized first letter) for all commonly used category, so category handler can use {{lc:}} to automatically avoid capitalization issues while preserving good legibility (FULL UPPERCASE IS NO GOOD!)
  • always use plural (category with only one entry is not necessary)

• Template: Camel Case?

Categorizing

• Categories
  • All other categories
  • Maintenance categories (Redirect: To-Do(keep?), To-do list?)
    • All categories used to mark issues needing fixing
  • Templates
    • Templates of high use? Or perhaps Templates needing high attention (asking all edits of these temp to be verified)
    • Meta templates: templates used to build templates, or to perform invisible functions as a part of a template
    • Informational Templates: templates used to present a message(s)(need specifying)
      • Category:Page-top informational templates(name?): InfoTemp used on the first several lines of a page, before the body of the article
      • Mid-page informational templates(name?): InfoTemp used within the body of the article, potentially interrupting the flow
      • Page-bottom informational templates(name?): InfoTemp used on the last several lines of a page, after the body of the article and after references
      • Block informational templates: InfoTemp usually placed at the start of the body of the article, providing a overview of the article
      • Templates based on navboxes (naming?): InfoTemp built upon navboxes, usually placed after the body of the article (and before references?)
    • Functional Templates (performing a visible function, like Template:Font, Template:Color)
    • Maintenance Templates
      • Discussion Templates (location?)
        • Voting Templates
    • Templates for template documentations (e.g. Template:HighRisk, Template:Esoteric)
    • Templates for categories (e.g. Template:EmptyCatGood, Template:CategoryRedirect)
    • Template documentations(location?)

What to do with these?

• Page-Top Templates
  • Potentially:Mid-page templates, Page-bottom templates

Page-Top template hierarchy

Page-Top Templates must be placed in a certain order for best legibility. Templates that notify a more important information should always be placed near the top. Non-Block templates should always be at the top.

Hierarchy draft:

Note: Some mutually exclusive templates are on the same hierarchy order; in other cases, mutually exclusive templates might not be on the same order.
