This is the form used to create/edit all topics - definitional, descriptive, or normative. It is used to create new topics/questions answers to which are definitions, descriptions, or prescriptions.
+
This is the form that is used to create/edit all non-definitional topics - descriptive or normative. The form requires that a subject is specified. It should be called exclusively from the definitional topic pages to ensure that all topics have a subject.
 +
 
 +
To create definitional topics, use [[Form:Definitional Topic]].
 +
 
 +
'''NOTE: The form is a work in progress.'''

This is the form that is used to create/edit all non-definitional topics - descriptive or normative. The form requires that a subject is specified. It should be called exclusively from the definitional topic pages to ensure that all topics have a subject.

To create definitional topics, use Form:Definitional Topic.

NOTE: The form is a work in progress. 

query string=
 Topic[Subject]= //the subject. Mandatory. Should be a page registered in the encyclopedia.
 &
 Topic[Topic Type]= //the topic type {Descriptive, Normative}. For definitional topics, use the form [[Form:Definitional Topic]] 
 &
 Topic[Subfield]= //the subfield {Ontology, Dynamics, ???}.
 &
 Topic[Inherited From]= //the question from which this question is inherited (if any).
