First, an important note for everyone to remember:

A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about knots. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

Title

WikiProject Knots

Scope

  • To develop a standard template for how knots are documented.
  • To bring knot up articles to a common standard.
  • To categorize knots.

Sample article

The bowline article is the sample of this project. It should set the standard for how a knot article can look.

Structure

Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.

Currently, there seems to be 2 ways of documenting knots:

Both contain the standard categories:
1 Canonical Name
2 Variant name(s)
3 Category
4 Origin
5 Related knot(s)
6 Releasing
7 Efficiency
8 Caveats
9 Uses
10 Comments
11 Structure

See Talk:knot

This document attempts to standardize this. I propose we standardize on the standard Wikipedia section format in bowline, but without the table of contents.

Hierarchy Definition

No classification of knots has been defined.

See this example on dividing a topic into a hierarchy.
