উইকিপিডিয়া:রচনাশৈলী নির্দেশনা/অন্তর্নিবন্ধ তালিকা

For a general discussion of lists, see Wikipedia:Lists.

অন্তর্নিবন্ধ তালিকা হলো কোনো নিবন্ধের মধ্যে বা শেষে যুক্ত করা তথ্য, উপাত্ত বা তথ্যসূত্রের তালিকা। তালিকা ছক বা সারণী আকারে থাকতে পারে। অন্তর্নিবন্ধ তালিকা কেবল যথাযথ ক্ষেত্রে ব্যবহার করা উচিত; কারণ মাঝেমধ্যে সারণীর চেয়ে লেখাতে ভালো বোঝানো যায়। আর তালিকায় খুব বেশি পরিসংখ্যানমূলক উপাত্ত দিলে উইকির নীতি লঙ্ঘিত হতে পারে।

গদ্য বনাম তালিকা সম্পাদনা

উইকিপিডিয়ায় পৃথকভাবে যেসব নিবন্ধ মূলত তালিকা দিয়ে গঠিত সেগুলোকে বলে "তালিকা" বা "তালিকাপ্রধান নিবন্ধ"; আর যেগুলো মূলত গদ্যে লেখা সেগুলোকে বলা হয় "নিবন্ধ"। নিবন্ধগুলো গদ্যপ্রধান হওয়া উচিত, তবে তাতে তালিকাও থাকতে পারে।

Prose is preferred in articles as prose allows the presentation of detail and clarification of context, in a way that a simple list may not. Prose flows, like one person speaking to another. It is best suited to articles, because their purpose is to explain. Lists of links, which are most useful for browsing subject areas, should usually have their own entries: see Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists for detail. In an article, significant items should normally be mentioned naturally within the text rather than merely listed. For example:

The 20th-century architecture of New York City includes numerous icons of architecture, most notably its striking skyscrapers. In the first few decades of the century, the city became a center for the Beaux-Arts movement, represented by architects Stanford White and Carrère and Hastings. New York's new skyscrapers included the Flatiron Building (1902), where Fifth Avenue crosses Broadway at Madison Square; Cass Gilbert's Woolworth Building (1913), a neo-Gothic "Cathedral of Commerce" overlooking City Hall; the Chrysler Building (1929), a pure expression of Art Deco; and the Empire State Building (1931). Modernist architect Raymond Hood, and Lever House after World War II, began the clusters of "glass boxes" that transformed the classic skyline of the 1930s, culminating in the World Trade Center towers (1973). 20th-century architecture of New York City

তালিকার উপযুক্ত ব্যবহার সম্পাদনা

While prose in general is preferred for the writing of articles, there are occasions when some form of list may be appropriate. Some occasions and list styles that may be considered are:

"সন্তানাদি" (i.e., Indentation) সম্পাদনা

It can be appropriate to use a list style when the items in a list are "children" of the paragraphs that precede them. Such "children" logically qualify for indentation beneath their parent description. In this case, indenting the paragraphs in list form may make them easier to read, especially if the paragraphs are very short. The following example works both with and without the bullets:

Prose List
At the beginning of the 20th century, New York City was a center for the Beaux-Arts architectural movement, attracting the talents of such great architects as Stanford White and Carrere and Hastings. As better construction and engineering technology became available as the century progressed, New York became the focal point of the competition for the tallest building in the world.

The city's striking skyline has been composed of numerous and varied skyscrapers, many of which are icons of 20th-century architecture. The Flatiron Building, standing 285 ft (87 meters) high, was one of the tallest buildings in the city upon its completion in 1902, made possible by its steel skeleton. It was one of the first buildings designed with a steel framework, and to achieve this height with other construction methods of that time would have been very difficult. The Woolworth Building, a neo-Gothic "Cathedral of Commerce" overlooking City Hall, was designed by Cass Gilbert. At 792 feet (241 meters), it became the world's tallest building upon its completion in 1913, an honor it retained until 1930, when it was overtaken by 40 Wall Street. That same year, the Chrysler Building took the lead as the tallest building in the world, scraping the sky at 1,046 feet (319 m). More impressive than its height is the building's design, by William Van Alen. An art deco masterpiece with an exterior crafted of brick, the Chrysler Building continues to be a favorite of New Yorkers to this day.

Long sequences সম্পাদনা

In some cases, a list style may be preferable to a long sequence within a sentence, compare:

Prose List
Philosophers discuss the meaning, function, and possibility of offering definitions. It is typical (e.g., in college logic texts) to distinguish a number of different kinds and techniques of definition, including dictionary or lexical definition, intensional definition, extensional definition, ostensive definition, stipulative definition, operational definition, theoretical definition, persuasive definition, and definition by genus and difference.

It is typical (e.g., in college logic texts) to distinguish a number of different kinds and techniques of definition, including:

Definition lists সম্পাদনা

A series of definitions should use proper formatting for definition lists. Definition lists take more space, but are quicker for the reader to scan. Properly formatted definition lists are more accessible to people using screen readers and have a variety of technical benefits related to HTML validation, browser compatibility, and automatic implementation of future style changes. Do not leave blank lines between list items.

The most typical reason for using a definition list is for a glossary, in which case it is preferable to other formatting styles. Very large definition lists or lists of items whose definitions contain more than one paragraph may be better presented in other formats, per Wikipedia:GLOSSARIES#Definition_list_wikimarkup. Definition list formatting is occasionally used for other purposes, such as subdividing large sections (e.g., lengthy External links or Further reading sections).

A disease is any abnormal condition that impairs normal function, especially infectious diseases, which are clinically evident diseases that result from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents. Illness or sickness are usually synonyms for disease, except when used to refer specifically to the patient's personal experience of their disease. Medical condition is a broad term that includes all diseases and disorders, but can also include injuries and normal health situations, such as pregnancy, that might affect a person's health, benefit from medical assistance, or have implications for medical treatments.

কাজের তালিকা ও কালপঞ্জী সম্পাদনা

Lists of works of individuals or groups, such as bibliographies, discographies, filmographies, album personnel and track listings, as well as timelines or chronologies, are typically presented in simple list format, though it is expected that the information will be supported elsewhere in the article by prose analysis of the main points, and that if the lists become unwieldy, they are split off into stand-alone lists per WP:Summary style. The content of a list is governed by the principle of due weight and other content policies, and that for people inclusion should be determined by WP:Source list, in that the entries must have the same importance to the subject as would be required for the entry to be included in the text of the article according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including WP:Trivia sections). Cast lists are preferably presented in prose. Specific advice regarding timelines is given in Wikipedia:Timeline standards.

সারণী সম্পাদনা

Tables are a way of presenting links, data or information in rows and columns. They are a complex form of list. Tables might be used for presenting mathematical data such as multiplication tables, comparative figures, or sporting results. They might also be used for presenting equivalent words in two or more languages; for awards by type and year; complex discographies; etc. Consideration may be given to collapsing tables which consolidate information covered in the prose.

Related topics (navigational lists) সম্পাদনা

"See also" lists and "Related topics" lists are valuable navigational tools that assist users in finding related Wikipedia articles. When deciding what articles and lists of articles to append to any given entry, it is useful to try to put yourself inside the mind of readers: Ask yourself where would a reader likely want to go after reading the article. Typically this will include three types of links:

There is some controversy over how many links to articles and links to lists that should be put in any article. Some people separate the "links to articles" (put in the "See also" section) from the "links to lists" (put in the "Related topics" section), but this is not necessary unless there are too many links for one section alone. Some feel the optimum number of links to lists that should be included at the end of any given article is one or two (or fewer). Others feel that a more comprehensive set of lists would be useful. In general, we should use the same criteria when deciding what list to include as we use to decide what articles to include in the See also section. We have to try to put ourselves in the readers' frame of mind and ask "Where will I likely want to go after reading this article?". As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes.

তথ্যসূত্র ও বহিঃসংযোগ সম্পাদনা

Reference lists show information sources outside of Wikipedia. The two most common types are:

  • "Web hyperlinks" – lists of links to web addresses other than Wikipedia, under the heading "External links"
  • "References" – lists of academic journal articles or books, under the heading "References"

Wikipedia is not a link collection and articles with only external links are actively discouraged, but it is appropriate to reference more detailed material from the Internet. This is particularly the case when you have used a web site as an important source of information.

অভিগম্যতা সম্পাদনা

Do not separate items by leaving blank lines between them, even when using unordered or definition lists.

Consideration should be given to keeping embedded lists and tables as short as feasible for their purpose and scope: material within an embedded list should relate to the article topic without going into unnecessary detail; and statistical data kept to a minimum per policy.

Some material may not be appropriate for reducing or summarizing using the summary style method. Consideration may be needed to either keep all the material embedded in the main article or split it off entirely into a sub-article, leaving a {{See}} template which produces:

Some information, such as "Notable people" or "Alumni", which may be read for context or scanned for content, may be formatted with a section lead and a descriptive, bulleted list, or as prose, depending on size. If the list is long, is unable to be summarised, but is not appropriate for splitting out, then a section lead, with a descriptive, bulleted list may be more appropriate than a long prose section.

Bulleted and numbered lists সম্পাদনা

  • Do not use lists if a passage is read easily as plain paragraphs.
  • Use proper wikimarkup- or template-based list code (see WP:Manual of Style/Lists and Help:List).
  • Do not leave blank lines between items in a bulleted or numbered list unless there is a reason to do so, since this causes the Wiki software to interpret each item as beginning a new list.
  • Use numbers rather than bullets only if:
    • a need to refer to the elements by number may arise;
    • the sequence of the items is critical; or
    • the numbering has some independent meaning, for example in a listing of musical tracks.
  • Use the same grammatical form for all elements in a list, and do not mix sentences and sentence fragments as elements.
    • When the elements are complete sentences, each one is formatted with sentence case (i.e., the initial letter is capitalized) and a final period.
    • When the elements are sentence fragments, the list is typically introduced by a lead fragment ending with a colon. When these elements are titles of works, they retain the original capitalization of the titles. Other elements are formatted consistently in either sentence case or lower case. No final punctuation is used.
