Delete?[edit]

The draft hasn't been editted for over a year. Should it be deleted ? DexDor (talk) 20:29, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not. That's why we have "draft space". Drafts can sit there until someone comes along and completes them enough to move them to article space. There's no sense in wasting the effort that others have put in on the drafts. Besides, all Wikipedia articles are works-in-progress, or in other words, "drafts". That's not a justification for deletion. The Transhumanist 07:18, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to article space[edit]

I'm back, and I'm actively working on outlines again. This one caught my eye because it had enough coverage to be a useful list of topics. So I've moved it to article space, where I'm expanding it further. Feel free to jump in and help. Thank you. The Transhumanist 07:18, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines[edit]

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
