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.
