User:StarTower/Structure Notes/Also see

About
This page is about the subsections of pages titled Also see (example: Definition:Mapping).

The current instructions on how to write this are here: Help:Page_Editing.

This page is not intended to contain prescriptive statements.

The general observations here may be converted into prescriptive conventions in the relevant help section.

General Structure
It is almost always a bullet point list of this format:

Also see

 * Check This Out 1, optional comment 1.
 * Check This Out 2, optional comment 2.
 * Etc.

Non-arcane exceptions have been found:


 * Definition:Permutable Subgroups, where an indented list format is used.
 * Definition:Coarser Topology, where a sentence is used.

In the cases where a bullet point list is used, there are occasional breaks in the list:


 * Goldbach's Weak Conjecture
 * Definition:Acceleration
 * Definition:Velocity

It is believed to be (like the page naming character case choice convention) part of the collectively coinciding editor base member's tastes.

Some general observations of the ordering of the links:


 * If a link $B$ is semantically dependent on a link $A$, then $A$ should precede $B$ in the list. As shown here: Abscissa of Convergence, where Dirichlet Series Convergence Lemma depends on the concept Definition:Dirichlet Series.
 * The possible uses of the Link-to-category template should succeed all definition and theorem links.
 * More may follow. --StarTower (talk) 03:16, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
