General+Page+Creation+Guidelines

Generally speaking, there are two types of finished layouts, one for general philosophies and a more detailed one for specific materials. However, feel free to write a stub if you aren't on Research or if you've filled your weekly research quota, or if you just want to get something down before you forget what you were thinking. //**It's more important that we have ideas, than pretty pages.**// Then again, try to put them under the right categories, please.

General Philosophies:
An example would look like this. You want to have a small blurb at the beginning to describe it the general public. Then you want the following headers (or something similar to this): "Characteristics", "Uses", "Tips, Tricks and Concerns" (this can be two categories "Tips and Tricks" and "Concerns"), "Examples", and "Sources". Characteristics should answer the question "What is this?". Uses should answer the questions "How do I use this?" and "Why do/would I use this?". "Tips and Tricks" should answer the questions "How do I optimize this?" and "How do I make this awesome?". Concerns should answer the questions "Is there a "green-ness" problem?", "Is this really difficult to implement?" and "Will this explode...frequently?" Examples should have links, photos, or something tangible that lets people see what you're talking about. Sources should use [|Easybib] and be in MLA format; honestly, if you spend 30 minutes to write a page, you can spend 30 seconds copy-pasting to and from Easybib. C**ite your sources!**

Specific Materials:
This a little more complicated and the exact requirements are a still in the works. Here's a skeleton of what it looks like. This will be more solid very soon.


 * PICTURE!!!
 * General Pros and Cons of Material
 * properties
 * chemical
 * mechanical
 * physical
 * thermal
 * electrical
 * etc.
 * applications
 * production
 * production status
 * availability
 * Construction methods
 * Examples of use

Stubs:
Try to say what you need to say in a few concise sentences and give us a link so the page can more easily be expanded. Also, label that your page is a stub in the title [ie. //Mitochondrial Nuclear Fusion Generators (Stub)//]
