Guide:Style and Formatting

This is a guide to style and formatting conventions of the CRTA.

Item Names

Each item must have a unique name, which also determines its URL for linking from elsewhere on the internet.

If the item appears in one of the main reprint collections, its name should be followed by an index number like so: 潘公免災寶卷 - F63, where F refers to one of the reprint collections, and 63 is the item's number within that collection.

If the item appears in a standard multi-volume reprint, such as Minguo Fojiao qikan wenxian jicheng 民國佛教期刊文獻集成, you can create a new index series, MFQ in this case.

If the item appears in a library collection, such as the Harvard-Yenching or the Bibliothèque nationale de France, you can create an index series such as HY or BN.

If the item is not already part of any standard reprint series or collections, then it doesn't need an index number. Note, however, that each entry name has to be unique, so you may need to disabiguate your entry by adding additional information, for example: 太上感應篇 (乾隆蘇州本)

Item Format

The format field in the infobox records how the item was originally printed, published, or otherwise recorded. This string must be one of a standard set, so that the advanced search function can properly filter results.
