View source for Lunarpedia:Article Tags

==Content Tags==
===Stub===
{{Stub}}
:The <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> tag indicates that someone believes that the article is mostly in the earliest stages of starting should be expanded (remove it if this appears to be a mistaken belief, or add it to another article for which this seems to you to be true that lacks such a tag; also remove if you or someone else just made it cease to be a stub).  

:You can browse [[:Category:Stubs]] for articles that you can improve without a substantial amount of effort. 

:As of February 2007, it is probably appropriate for most of Lunarpedia's articles to be stub class.  Guidelines for the boundaries between stub articles, start class articles, and possibly definitions (create a definition stub tag for articles that need to be brought up to proper dictionary standards?)

===Autostub===
{{Test Autostub}}<BR clear="all"/>
:<nowiki>{{Autostub}}</nowiki> is a special case of stub article.  This article stub was created by a script.  A good rule of thumb for when to replace this with a regular stub tag or remove it should probably be developed.
<BR clear="all"/>

===Empty List===
{{Empty List}}
:The <nowiki>{{Empty List}}</nowiki> tag indicates that there's nothing in a list article. If the list article now has has list items, please remove it. 

A full list of handy stubs for use on Lunarpedia can be found in the [[Lunarpedia:Stubs|Stubs article]].

<BR clear="all"/>

==Copyediting==
[[:Category:Cleanup]] can be browsed for articles with these tags.  These articles are singled out for formatting, spelling, and other issues.
===Cleanup===
{{Cleanup}}
:The <nowiki>{{Cleanup}}</nowiki> tag indicates that someone believes that the article could be cleaned up at least a little (remove it if this appears to be a mistaken belief, or add it to another article for which this seems to you to be true that lacks such a tag; also remove if you or someone else just did a pretty good job of copyediting on it).  This tag does not specify what needs to be worked on.
<BR clear="all"/>

===Wikify===
{{Wikify}}
:<nowiki>{{Wikify}}</nowiki> refers only to wiki formatting for an article, making no comment on its other attributes that might have been in need of work.  When the article is fully formatted appropriately for use in a Wiki, please remove this tag from it.
<BR clear="all"/>

===Unencyclopedic===
{{Unencyclopedic}}
:<nowiki>{{Unencyclopedic}}</nowiki> indicates that an article is not in an appropriate tone for an encyclopedic article.  This will be especially true of articles added here from other sources.  The longer an article is, the more work it may require before it is time to remove this tag.
<BR clear="all"/>

==Timeliness==
===Pending===
{{Pending}}
:The <nowiki>{{Pending}}</nowiki> tag indicates that the article is about an upcoming event and by definition will not necessarily be a completely accurate reflection of the event once it has transpired.  Once the event has happened, please remove this tag or replace it with one indicating what work needs to be done to make the article more appropriate for documentation of a historical event.
<BR clear="all"/>

===Possibly Obsolete===
{{Possibly Obsolete}}
:<nowiki>{{Possibly Obsolete}}</nowiki> is used for articles with transitory information that hasn't been updated recently and may no longer accurately reflect the situation as of when a user reads the article.

==Copyright and Ownership==
===Wikipedia===
{{Wikipedia}}
:The <nowiki>{{Wikipedia}}</nowiki> tag is for articles that were originally imported from Wikipedia.  These articles are NOT part of the public domain and MUST NEVER be included in the main namespace.  The articles belong in the GFDL namespace with their full revision histories imported.
<BR clear="all"/>

===PD Violation===
{{PD Violation}}
:The <nowiki>{{PD Violation}}</nowiki> tag indicates that content has been placed in the main name space whose presence is an infringement of copyright or something similarly severe.  These situations must be addressed in an expeditious fashion.  Only when the crisis is resolved may this tag be removed.
<BR clear="all"/>


==Testing==
===Script Test===
{{Script Test}}
:The <nowiki>{{Script Test}}</nowiki> tag is added to an article that represents a test of a script and should not be edited for content.  It is not the topic of the article but rather the representation of the script output that needs to be as accurate as possible.
<BR clear="all"/>
