Talk:Outline of Wikipedia

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"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 Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:02, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Namespace
Judging by the nature of this page, it seems like it belongs in the project namespace, rather than the mainspace. Any thoughts? Philosophy2 (talk) 17:00, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a Cross-reference article, an archaic and deprecated type of article. Instead of a cross-reference it should be a Outline. It has "outline" in the title, but it isn't one. —Alalch E. 15:09, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
