This guide describes how to add and maintain reference material in this wiki.
Purpose and scope
The wiki supports students and practitioners with background reading. Keep factual reference material, story summaries and commentary clearly identified. Practitioner instructions and claims about the Metaphors of Movement model need attribution to the owner's published material and editorial review.
Choose a page type
- Template:Topic article - physical subjects, images and objects
- Template:Story article - stories, myths and literary works
- Template:Biography article - people and authors
- Template:Collection index - collections of related articles
Open a template to see its instructions. Substitute the template into a new page, then replace every editing prompt before saving. Omit sections that do not fit the subject.
Titles and structure
Use a descriptive title, consistent capitalisation and ordinary words. Avoid numbered alternatives such as a title ending in -2. Use a page move when renaming so the history is preserved, and keep a redirect from the old title. Review overlapping pages before merging them.
The wiki supplies the page title. Start the body with a short introduction and use level-two headings for the main sections. Do not repeat the page title as another level-one heading.
Sources and versions
Cite the source beside the claim or passage it supports. Prefer original works and authoritative sources. Identify the edition or telling used for a story summary. Keep observations about the story separate from its events. Add image descriptions and attribution where applicable.
Quotations and traceable evidence
For each quotation, identify the author and, where different, the speaker or narrator; the work; the consulted edition or version; the translator or editor when credited; and a precise chapter, act and scene, verse, section, stanza or page. Give a stable source URL and the date consulted. A page number is useful only with its edition. Do not infer an unnamed translator from a similar online text.
Check the exact wording against the cited text and read the surrounding passage. Mark omissions and editorial additions. Do not combine fragments into an apparent continuous quotation, silently modernise spelling or present a translation as the original wording. Keep excerpts proportionate to the analysis and applicable reuse terms. When a source cannot be confirmed, state the uncertainty or paraphrase only what the available evidence supports.
A useful citation identifies who; which work and version; where in it; where the reader can check it. Put the reference beside the quotation or factual claim. A source listed at the end does not support every statement on a page. Verify that a link opens the intended entry, not a publisher's homepage or a search result.
Source, analysis and practitioner commentary
Story events and historical claims should be traceable to sources. Editorial close reading should identify the detail that supports its inference and any plausible alternative. A comparison between two works is not evidence that one influenced the other. Documented influence requires evidence such as an author's statement, a named adaptation or relevant scholarship.
Claims about a culture must name the tradition, place, period and source where possible. Do not combine variant tales into a single original or treat an archetypal reading as a universal meaning. Identify who proposed an interpretive framework. Avoid assigning a fixed psychological meaning to an image, action or idiom.
Label Metaphors of Movement practitioner commentary and attribute model-specific claims to identifiable published material. A literary analogy is not evidence of clinical effectiveness. Keep case material anonymous and appropriately authorised; do not infer private diagnoses from stories or metaphors.
Idioms, allusions and language history
Check the complete expression and the intended dictionary sense. Separate idioms, sayings, literary allusions, single words, adaptations and original examples. Record regional or register restrictions when the source supports them. A plausible metaphorical picture is not an etymology. Claims about origins or first use require dated linguistic evidence; similarity to a story is insufficient.
Images, videos and accessible reading
Each image needs an identifiable source, creator where known, and reuse status. Inspect what it shows before writing purpose-specific alternative text; a filename is rarely a useful description. Explain significant details in the caption or nearby prose. Do not assign a licence from age or appearance alone.
Choose video for a specific contribution to the article. Identify its title, creator or institution, topic and useful segment when verified. Link to the source and provide a short written account so the article remains useful without playback. Record whether captions or a transcript have actually been checked. Availability and reputable provenance do not establish the accuracy of every claim in a video.
Use a logical heading sequence. Tables should have a caption, appropriate row and column headers and a labelled keyboard-accessible scroll container when needed. Check narrow screens and keyboard navigation; do not remove visible focus outlines. Shared interface changes require the site's appropriate editing rights.
Review record and independent review
Record the page and revision, review date, exact scope, evidence checked, corrections and unresolved questions in Wiki maintenance index. Distinguish a source check, copy edit, automated link check and independent specialist review. A recent review date does not certify the whole page.
A specialist review should identify the reviewer and relevant expertise, the version reviewed, findings and how each finding was resolved. Do not mark it complete until that review has occurred and the result is recorded. The maintenance queue supplies concrete questions for linguistic, folklore, cultural-history and accessibility review. Recheck the saved page after publication, including citations and section links.
Every article should belong to at least one suitable category from Category:Wiki contents. More than one subject may apply. Choose useful broad categories before inventing narrowly used ones.
Add a Related pages section with a few meaningful links, and a route back to the relevant subject or collection. Link the new page from an appropriate browsing page or related article. Check each destination before publishing. Use plain text when a peripheral name does not need its own wiki article.
Writing and review
Use plain language and follow the owner's current wording rules. Use commas, colons, parentheses or separate sentences instead of long dash punctuation. Avoid a generic closing summary section. Finish with sources and useful onward links where appropriate.
Preview before saving. Check headings, links, categories, quotations and source attribution. Write an edit summary that states what changed.
Maintenance checks
Track specific review work in the Wiki maintenance index, which records dated priorities, completed additions and links to the built-in reports.
