Thread:Issuepedia talk:Page Structure/Standard sidebar for individual issues

Each issue page should have a descriptive sidebar that helps categorize the issue (using one or more categories), provides a map of where the issue fits within its category, and provides a short description of how well-developed the issue page is.

"Well-developed" will require some definition and consensus. Some suggested axes to look at when determining overall quality:

• Number of sources cited
• Quality of sources cited (difficult to measure!)
• Quality of analysis (also difficult to measure)
• Stylistic quality (writing, links to other pages, images, etc)

It would also be beneficial to create a template for the citations themselves, again with some kind of "quality" rating, as well as a category (opinion/primary source/secondary/etc) and links to pages about the authors and publications involved. These pages could be used to discuss any perceived bias in the source authors or publications.
