Editing Encyclopedia:Year in Review guidelines

{{historical}}
Each [[Year in Review]] article will be a part of the new Year in Review [[Wikipedia:Category schemes|category scheme]].  These articles will highlight events and people that made the news.  Here is a basic '''style guide for Year in Review articles'''.

== Listing subjects ==

There are just a few broad subjects from which others branch.
At present there is (much needs to be added):
:[[art|Arts]] and [[Entertainment]]
::[[Film]]
::[[Television]]
::[[Music]]
:[[Politics]]
:[[Sport]]

== Presenting numerical data ==

The following is bad:
:''[[Dr. Suess]]' work, [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas]] grossed $259,951,325 at the box office.''
The following is better:
:''[[Dr. Suess]]' work, [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas]] grossed [[top grossing movies|$260 million]] at the box office.''

Not a big change, but rounding the figure up to a more [[human]] friendly number just helps make this look less like a spread sheet.

== Presenting data ==

It should be remembered that this is to be a new [[Wikipedia:Category schemes|category scheme]], so whilst each year should read nicely, it should also include just enough information to entice the reader into following the links to the actual pages on the information to find out more.
