Meta:Best practice
From Pirate Party UK Wiki
This page describes the best practice for writing various types of pages on the Pirate Party UK Wiki.
See RFC 2119 for the working definitions of 'should', 'should not', 'may', etc.

Administration pages
Personnel sections
Each administration article MUST list any current or previous personnel, with each job title having its own subsection.
Personnel SHOULD be listed in order of their start date (descending), end date (descending), then surname (ascending). The current person or people in the job MUST have their name in bold, and it SHOULD link to their user page. Dates SHOULD consist of the month and year.
Regional pages
These pages correspond to the UK constituencies of the European Parliament. Therefore new pages, mergers or deletions MUST only occur when the constituencies change, and these changes MAY need to be confirmed with the NEC or Board before occurring.
Pages describing an administrative region MUST contain the infobox Template:Region. They SHOULD also contain a links section.
Candidates
Candidates in the region MUST be listed in the personnel section. Instead of start/end date, alongside the candidate's name (user page linked) MUST be their constituency (linked) and the elections in which they participated (linked). Candidates MUST be ordered first by the date of the most recent election they participated in, then their name.
Workspaces
Regional pages MAY include a page of the same name in the Workspace namespace (e.g. North West England includes Workspace:North West England). The content and layout of this page is ultimately the decision of the region's RAO and/or members, but it typically contains a list of members and information about upcoming meetings.
If included into the main region page, the workspace SHOULD be after the personnel section, but before the links section.
Categorisation
| Type of page | Category | Info |
|---|---|---|
| Executive office (e.g. Treasury) | Category:Offices | |
| Administrative regions (e.g. Wales) | Category:Regions | Automatically included into page by Template:Region |
| Everything else related to administration | Category:Administration |
