Title
The titling of history articles has to have the key words on the left. The Key words are Diplomacy and U.S. We can expect to have articles like:
- Diplomacy, China, Timeline
- Diplomacy, Britain, Timeline, etc Richard Jensen 15:15, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
- I must confess I still don't understand what this buys us. The abc= field in the metadata ensures that in automatically alphabetized lists, it is alphabetized in the order that field specifies (so that, e.g. 'Michael Faraday' is ordered as if it had been titled 'Faraday, Michael'. So where exactly is it that it shows up in non-manually-ordered lists where it's not alphabetized in that way? J. Noel Chiappa 07:12, 25 May 2008 (CDT)
- It shows up in the proper place in "See also" links. Richard Jensen 12:27, 25 May 2008 (CDT)
- See Also link lists are manually ordered, no? So you could just stick "Battle of Guadalcanal" in under G, no? And we could define a template "ShowABC", which took an argument of the article name, and created a piped link with the ABC version as what shows up, to alert less-alert authors that in fact it was in the right place in the list... (In fact, that's such a good idea I think I'll suggest it anyway, for things like Michael Faraday on See Also pages...) J. Noel Chiappa 15:34, 27 May 2008 (CDT)
