Organizing Year Zero
Due to the massive nature of the World of Year Zero, organization of information is paramount to gaining a complete understanding of what is known up to date. As such, I am putting together this guide to organize all Year Zero content on the website, including a hierarchy of the main research pages and standards for various types of recurring details in Year Zero (such as websites). In this manner all sites will be consistent in their style, easily accessible, and there will be no redundant pages.
General Standards
Splitting Articles As a rule of thumb, when a subsection of any site gains more than 4-5 of it's own subsections it should be split into it's own article and replaced on it's parent page with a short description and a link.
Year Zero Name Any major top-end page name (ie Research, Story, People, etc) should be distinguished from the rest of the Wiki content by adding "Year Zero" to the name.
Information Ordering Any subject in which the information is not proven to be dependent on numerology or chronology should use alphabetical order.
Year Zero Research This will be the consolidated center of all information regarding Year Zero. The very top of the hierarchy.
Year Zero Research
- Discovery (Include details about how Year Zero was first discovered)
- Year Zero Timeline (Include basic details about change in date system)
- Year Zero World Facts (Include short description of overall state of the world and link to article)
- Year Zero Individuals (Include short description of types of people found, and link to article.)
- Year Zero Organizations (Include description of types of organizations found. Include major organizations only)
- Year Zero Phenomena (Include details about change belief systems in Year Zero)
- The Presence (Short description and link to article)
- Other Phenomena (If we find any)
- Year Zero Drugs (Include description of drug prevalence in Year Zero)
- Year Zero Websites (Include introduction to websites discovered)
- Table of websites
- Year Zero Multimedia (Include introduction to multimedia files obtained)
- List of videos with descriptions and article links
- List of audio files with descriptions and article links
- Any other multimedia category
- Year Zero in Real Life (Include introduction to IRL occurrences)
- List of phone numbers with descriptions and article links
- List of murals with descriptions and article links
- List of OSR Meetings with descriptions and article links
- Any other IRL occurrence category
- Year Zero Numbers (Short description and link to article)
- Year Zero Banned Media (Short description and link to article)

- Thats why I made the point that if a subpage gets too big it's turned into it's own article. and simply referenced by it's parent. The Research page will probably be the only one with a lot of subpages because it's the top of the hierarchy and has all the sections that cannot be consolidated into another parent section.
