The only thing needed in this introductory section is Normally, [[:Category:Topic|topic pages]] are created by the current definition editors of the termencyclopedia to ensure that each topic is properly classified as definitional, descriptive, idea or theorem normative, that their central questions are formulated correctly, that topics are linked to correct parent topics, that your article is abouttheir authors are correctly entered, etc. This is the first point of information for readersHowever, often topic pages are ''stubs'', as they lack proper ''Prehistory'', ''History'', so it should tell them exactly whether or not this article will be and ''Description'' sections. Authors of use the encyclopedia can help to themfill in these gaps.Note that this section should only contain == Description ==While the editors usually enter a concisefew lines explaining the importance of the question, verbatim definition they don't normally illustrate the question with historical/hypothetical examples. This is where the authors can help. When editing the ''Description'' section of a concepts topic page, try to answer the following questions:* What makes this topic interesting or challenging?* Why is the answer to this question not trivial?* Can you given an example - historical or hypothetical?If necessary, a verbatim statement of a theorem diagram or axiom. It should two can be 1-3 lines maximum. You do not need added to to include any explanation or justification for your topic in this sectionmake the question as clear as possible.
== Prehistory ==
In this This section, you will is meant to describe how past philosophers or and scientists dealt with the subject topic. For instance, the ''Prehistory'' section of [[Mechanism of Method Employment]] topic page outlines what some famous philosophers of science had to say on the topic of method employment. Specifically, the section summarizes the views of your article[[Thomas Kuhn]], [[Paul Feyerabend]], [[Dudley Shapere]], [[Larry Laudan]], etc. As a general rule, the classics of the philosophy of science are a great resource for this section. Also check the references cited in respective scientonomic literature. This section has the potential to be the largest and least bounded, due to the fact that lots most scientonomic topics were originally discussed by the classics of the resulting concepts and theorems philosophy of scientonomy began as vague or implicit proto-ideas in other philosophical dialoguesscience. So use your judgment and try Yet, it is important to keep it as constrained as possible to relevant ideas. Great resources for this section can be found in the non-TSC readings listed on the syllabus of reasonably concise and only include those ideas that are directly relevant to the seminartopic.  This section of the article will be collapsed upon a reader’s entry to the webpage, so they will have to click to expand this section if they want access to this pre-historical information on the subject.
== History ==
In The goal of this section, you will describe any changes is to the subject of your article since its establishment outline developments in the TSC. Unlike the Prehistory section, this section will make no mention of philosophical discussion of the topic occurring prior to within the creation of scientonomy''scientonomic'' context. The process Large chunks of tracking these changes will be described first this section are generated by highlighting the open question that the change resolvedencyclopedia automatically. This includes ''Acceptance Record'', ''All Theories'', ''Accepted Theories'', as well as who proposed that change and in what year''Suggested Modifications''. You will also mention proposed changes that were Authors are only required to provide additional information if the automatically generated tables are not acceptedsufficient. Also, as well as it is often helpful to provide a few line summary of the reason whymajor transitions in our scientonomic views on the topic. An For example of , the content expected in this ''History'' section would be the case of Rory Harder’s proposed change to [[The Zeroth Law|the zeroth lawMechanism of Method Employment]]. You would begin by stating topic page explains how Barseghyan's original formulation of the problem with the zeroth third law prior was deficient and came to 2013. You would then describe the proposed solution (the change from be replaced by Sebastien''consistency'' to ''compatibility'')s formulation.  Even if If there have been no changes made to your topic since on the TSC was first proposed, you still need to include in this section a definition of your topic as it was first proposed in the TSC (along the lines of "In 2013scientonomic context, Barseghyan initially proposed <nowiki> [insert topic] as being/stating/claiming [insert definition]</nowiki>"). For cases where no changes have been made since the TSC's initial proposal, we realize then it is quite likely that this section will look almost identical to what you write in the opening of the Current View section and Introductionbe rather short. However, we We anticipate in future years the ''Current View'' (and subsequently the ''Introduction'') of our accepted theories on any given topic will change frequently, and thus the ''History '' section will serve its purpose of showing how the now-changed axiom or theorem was originally formulated. For a sample article see [[Scientific Mosaic]]these transitions took place.
== Current View ==
In By default this section, you will re-state the current definition of currently accepted theory on the subject, going into more detail than was allowed in the introductory section. You will also state the definition of all terms associated with your article subject, insofar as they are required to fully understand it.  == Open Questions == In topic; this section, you will compile a list of all is generated by the questions pertaining to your subject that have not yet been solved. You will also track all attempts made to solve each question. At the very minimum, your article should include any open questions listed at system automatically from the back acceptance record of the textbook that are relevant to your topicrespective theory. Make sure you check that first. Next, the editors keep track of all open questions raised in the seminar and other discussions and upload the questions weekly Sometimes authors may want to the [[List of Open Questions]]. Make this your second stop as a resource for open questions relevant to your topic. Note that in order to qualify as an open question, a questions needs add some additional content to be discussed in a paper or, at minimum, be raised in the seminarautomatically generated content. Please make sure that all the open questions are properly referenced to respective papers or iterations of the seminar.  This section can be in point form. For example:=== Question 1 === Formulation of the question.* Solution [x] proposed by [author 1] only do so if there is no longer pursued. * Solution [y] proposed by [author 2] is still being pursued. === Question 2 ===Formulation an important piece of the question.* No solutions have been proposed at this point; the question remains openinformation not rendered automatically.
== Related Articles ==
This section is meant to help direct readers of the Wiki encyclopedia to other relevant information on your topictopics. For example, an article on the definition of [[Theory]] might list [[Theory Acceptance]] as a related article.  == Notes ==This section is similar to a Wikipedia article’s Notes section. You can collect all of your footnotes here. 
<div class="user-block">= References ==Please make sure to cite any references that you use, carefully following the [[FileGuidelines:Bulbgraph.png|18pxCitations|Note|link=citation guidelines]] '''Note:''' While it might be tempting to include many examples to help illustrate the definition of your topic (for example, illustrating the third law means of by describing the transition from the Aristotelian-Medieval to the Hypothetico-Deductive method ). We would ask that you minimize the use inclusion of examples in your article. While they do serve the purpose of reifying the utility of whatever axiom or theorem you are writing about, that role is largely served by the respective books and articles. If you do feel the need to provide an example or historical case, please keep it brief or reference it only superficially (for example, "The third law has proven effective in explaining such historical cases as the transition from the Aristotelian-Medieval method to the Hypothetico-Deductive method." and leave it at that). Remember, the role of the Encyclopedia is not to mount an argument as to the effectiveness of the TSC. It is only meant to be an efficient resource for those looking for concise and up-to-date information about the TSC.</div>
