Style Guide

On this page, we summarize best practices for keeping the GoodRelations Wiki consistent.

URI Pattern

We use a hierarchical URI pattern:

  • Pages of generic relevance are in the "root" name space
  • The following types of documents have their own subspaces
    • /Cookbook/ - all recipes
    • /Case_studies/ - all case studies
    • /Tools/ - all tools
    • /Events/ - all events
    • /Vocabularies/ - all ontologies (VSO etc.)
    • /GEP/ - GoodRelations Enhancement Proposals
    • /Documentation/ - the User's Guide

Examples:

Color Codes

  • Links
    • Foreground color: #df6010
  • Code listings
    • Background color: #fff9ef
    • Border color: #efa363
  • Header menu
    • Background color on select: #636161
    • Background color on hover: none
    • Border color: #bd7b1a
  • Navigation boxes and footer bar
    • Background color: #eeeeee
    • Border color: #dddddd (bottom or top)

Basic Structure

Page titles use H1, e.g. 

= The GoodRelations Cookbook =

All subsections use H2. e.g. 

= The GoodRelations Cookbook =
blabla
== Section 1 ==
blabla
== Section 2 ==

Naming Conventions

Pages

Page URIs should be useful page titles, e.g. 

Only the first character is capitalized, unless the page title is a proper name, e.g. 

If the full page title is pretty long, use a good acronym and disable the displaying of this as the page title, e.g. as in

Categories

Category names should be in singular form, with proper English capitalization and underscores for spaces (no CamelWords). Examples:


Code: RDF/XML, Turtle, RDFa

The wiki supports syntax highlighting via the Geshi extension, plus a proprietary extension for syntax highlighting for SPARQL and Turtle. For RDF/XML, use 

<code xml>
code
</code>

For SPARQL and Turtle, use  

<code n3>
code
</code>

Images

Images should be 720 pixels wide.

Multiple Columns

Use a div element instead of tables:

Two columns

Tools

Three columns

Disabling Page Title

Insert (has been disabled - titles only appear if colon is found in title name, e.g. Mediawiki:Sidebar) 

{{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="display:none">{{FULLPAGENAME}}</span>}}

Better use 

__NOTITLE__

Disabling Table of Contents

__NOTOC__

Forcing the Table of Contents to be Displayed at a Certain Position

__TOC__

or 

__FORCETOC__

Disabling Edit Link for Subsections

__NOEDITSECTION__

Side-bar

Infobox, Message Boxes and Navigation Templates

Infoboxes

Example 1 - Case Study Infobox: 

{{infobox Case Study
| company = Universität der Bundeswehr München
}}

Example 2 - User Infobox: 

{{infobox User
| name = Martin Hepp
| affiliation = Universität der Bundeswehr München
| role = Professor and Head of Research Group
}}

Navbox

Example - Documentation Navbox: 

{{navbox Documentation
| prev = Intro
| next = Quickstart
}}

Message boxes

{{Warning|It is important to observe ...}}
Warning: It is important to observe ...

Extensions

No Title

This light-weight extension allows to hide the page title: 

__NOTITLE__

CategorySuggest

... is an extraction of SelectCategoryTagCloud (without cloud feature). SelectCategoryTagCloud causes a weird behaviour of mediawiki in a sense that it trims all leading spaces in preformatted text. Thus we discarded it.

Sample result

According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.[1] The Moon, however, is not so big.[2]

Custom Sidebar

The replacement of the standard sidebar for a single page by a custom sidebar (e.g. with two boxes) is best accomplished via the sidebar tag: 

<sidebar>
* Menu
** link1|Text 1
** link2|Text 2

* Menu2
** link1|Text 1
** link2|Text 2
</sidebar>

If you inserted the above snippet (omitting the sidebar-tag) into Tools/Sidebar the complete "Tools" hierarchy would inherit the custom sidebar, i.e. Tools/BMEcat2GR, etc.

Category Members on Sidebar

This extension allows to enrich the sidebar with a list of all members in a category. 

* CATEGORY:Tool|List of Tools
