Talk:Outline of futures studies

Hello future studies folks
Lists on Wikipedia tend to be on more specific schemes that have clear definitions. A more vague list of 'topics' which includes so many different things, including publications, might be better to include in the main Future studies article. But it is certainly a good list.

Futures Studies is a branch of Science?
I was rather surprised to see Futures Studies described as a branch of science. I typically don't see history described this way. I'd like to see a citation justifying this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John b cassel (talk • contribs) 19:16, 11 February 2012 (UTC) John b cassel (talk) 03:01, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Merge, futurologists
Three overlapping but not identical lists of the same subject:


 * List_of_futurologists
 * Outline_of_futures_studies#Futurologists
 * Futures_studies#Futurists%20and%20foresight%20thought%20leaders

All should be consolidated into the first, and the other 2 just be links. GangofOne (talk) 06:23, 14 April 2015 (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 00:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Red link lists
Do outlines normally have lists of aspirational redlinks? - David Gerard (talk) 12:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
