All articles in the area of logic shall...


 * ... tell the reader explicitly what is valid and invalid.


 * ... account for all metalogical distinctions which can be made in analyzing the topic in the lede section.


 * ... account for all senses of the term as used within logic in the lede section.


 * ... identify the ontological category of which the topic is a member. This is to say quite simply that if the article is about X then the opening sentence should tell the reader what X is. This should be expressed in some formulation consistent with "X is a type of Y." It should be possible to recursively wikilink via categories from the article to Category:Fundamental


 * ... be written not from any particular POV, but rather from the perspective of a reasoner which every person is. This is to say that it should be possible for an average person to be able to reason things out so as to have an excellent and intellectual understanding of the topic merely by reading and following wikilinks. Toward this end, articles should not be written with jargon, nor terminology favoring one in-group of academicians over another. To the degree that any specialized language is necessary, the first instance should be wikilinked.


 * ... be recursively wikilinkable to the article logic. This is to say that there should be some linked article in the lede which links to the article logic or which links to such an article, etcetera.


 * ... be recursively wikilinkable to one of the the articles logical truth or logical consequence.
 * ... be recursively wikilinkable via categories to one of the categories under Category:Fundamental.
 * ... be recursively wikilinkable via categories to at least one of Category:Logic literature, Category:Logic organizations, Category:Logicians, Category:Theories of deduction or Category:Concepts in logic


 * ... substantially be written from within classical, traditional, and orthodox logic with separate sections for any non-classical applications.


 * ... substantially be written with regard to a standard interpretation with separate sections for any non-standard interpretations.


 * ... have all of the first instances of terms which are names of articles within WP:LOGIC wikilinked.


 * ... shall ideally be organized with sections as follows if possible...
 * == Varied accounts of topic x ==
 * === Classical ===
 * === Propositional ===
 * === First order ===
 * === Higher order ===
 * === Non-classical ===
 * == History of x ==
 * === Ancient ===
 * === Medieval ===
 * === Modern ===
 * === Contemporary ===
