Talk:Outline of birds

Not knowing much about birds
The only suggestion I have, from my limited contact with the project, is maybe to have a section on "Birds by country" where you can link to the bird country pages. Nice work getting it started, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask for help at WP:WPOOK.  T i a m u t talk 21:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

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 00:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
