Also, every editor needs time to become acquainted with every other editor in regard to personality and in regard to knowledge and skills related to writing style. Sometimes, things need to be explained to new editors and maybe even re-explained to veteran editors. (I sometimes see contributions from editors whose usernames I do not recognize.) Consequently, some editors are very familiar with editing here, but others are unfamiliar with the social atmosphere and with past and present discussions. Some editors have been contributing to these two pages for many years, but some editors are relatively new to doing so. Likewise, from the top of the page of the revision history of WT:MOS, there is a link to a list of contributors. Wavelength ( talk) 19:53, 29 June 2013 (UTC) Social dynamics of WP:MOS and WT:MOSįrom the top of the page of the revision history of WP:MOS, there is a link to a list of contributors. I found them (at least generally) by searching for logical punctuation in the archives. At 16:19, 26 June 2013 (UTC) and at 18:30, 26 June 2013 (UTC), I added to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Register#Punctuation inside or outside many links to archived discussions about the position of quotation marks in relation to other punctuation. That page was recently discussed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Register. Wavelength ( talk) 00:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC) and 22:47, 25 June 2013 (UTC) īrief informative headings are important for convenient maintenance of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Register. Past discussions are in the past, but henceforth we can all spend time in forming brief informative headings. Then, when a discussion will have been archived, it will be more accessible and more easily documented. However, I request help from all editors so that those pages can be maintained and used with minimal time being spent in studying future past discussions. I understand that, when there is an issue raised about a style guideline, editors can be very absorbed in trying to settle it and unaware of unintended consequences.
Brief informative headings can help all of us to use that page and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive Directory efficiently.

(If any professional instructor is reading this, then that person can incorporate the teaching of this skill into the report-writing part of the teaching program. A subheading "Arbitrary break" appearing in a watchlist (or in a link on a talk page) contains very little useful information.Ĭoncise informativeness is a skill to be developed by practice. Subheadings can often be more challenging than main headings, but concise informativeness can be achieved when a subheading repeats briefly some or all of the main heading and then adds information specific to the section. Topical words help to identify the topic of a discussion. Attitudinal words (whether they are positive or neutral or negative) are generally wasted words when they are in a heading. A simple glance at a heading in a table of contents or in a watchlist can often be enough to help an editor to decide whether to investigate a discussion further.Ī heading does not need to contain every detail describing a discussion, but should contain enough information to convey, as narrowly as it can within practical limits, the scope of the discussion.
Brief informative headings (and subheadings, and so forth) help all of us to use the table of contents (of a talk page, either active or archived) and to follow changes to watchlisted pages.
