Coders: for this we need a script: a table template generator!
What are Catalogs?
CZ Catalogs include lists, lists of lists, annotated lists, glossaries and indices relating to the subject cluster. As subpages are new to the project, their scope is still being defined. For now, writers and editors are asked to use their best judgement when organizing such material, and to seek the input of others. Currently, catalogs take several forms. See the original discussion thread at [1] for ideas. Some examples are provided as a guideline below.
Some catalogues in development
A well laid out catalogue using the definition template
A well laid out catalogue using tables
A catalogue with annotations but not citations
Simple annotated catalog
Catalog with definitions and annotations
Where the cluster is large or complex, the catalogue may list subcatalogues
Purpose
The purpose of CZ Catalogs is to provide supplemental information to a cluster article, without disrupting the flow of the article. The body of articles should not contain excessive definitions or exhaustive lists; these are handled in ‘’catalogs’’.
