A Conversation for h2g2 FAQ: Guide Entries

Groups of entries

You can call me TC

I've been here nine years but I don't know where to ask this question:

How do I present a group of entries for Peer Review? (I haven't written them yet, but I've started gathering material.) Do I then just present the central entry for PR with links to all the others in it, or do I submit each entry on its own?

We don't have projects any more, do we? So how can you group entries other than by simply cross-linking?

We do indeed have projects, more so than ever. A new system of projects was launched about 2 years ago and is very streamlined. You need to have related 5 entries to make a project, and you need to get a willing sub-editor to sub-edit the lot. I volunteer.

I've never actually sub-edited a project, so I can't remember the details, but it basically involves you writing it, them being passed to me, then me putting the whole project into Peer Review in one go.

OK - it'll take a few weeks, though. Do the five entries include the central entry which forms a kind of "Contents page"?

You can do an overview page, which introduces the other pages if you want, or you can just have them as a first, second, third etc. It's up to you.

There's also a project page, which is an administrative page which is used during the writing, peer review etc, but does not form part of the final Edited Guide.

For example, in my Byzantium project, the project page was at A13970531 while the overview, which is an Edited Entry, is at A13970621. Galaxy Babe's Queen Victoria project doesn't have an overview, the first entry being A13915181.
