Better structure allows the reader to navigate the page easier and feels more intuitive. The structure should also seek to give maintain cohesiveness throughout the wiki. This aims to give the reader a better experience by using a predictable layout. WikiIslam generally adopts an encyclopedic format (e.g. [[72 Virgins]]), but can also include table/list formatted articles (e.g. [[The Timeline of Muhammad]]). All articles can be adjusted to keep the flow and intuitive feel of the article. | ||
The lead is an introductory summary that comes before the table of contents and is not followed by any section titles. It aims to give the most essential information about the subject within the first few lines in simple and short sentences. The lead should contain no more than five easy to read paragraphs. | The lead is an introductory summary that comes before the table of contents and is not followed by any section titles.
