==Page Naming Convensions==
==1. Page Naming Convensions==
===Entire Books per Page or Single Chapter per Page?===
===Entire Books per Page or Single Chapter per Page?===
Users are free to decide themselves if it is more appropriate to host an '''entire book''' on a single page or '''single chapter''' per page, but are asked to consider that while [[WikiMedia]] has no fixed text limit, pages do become unstable above ~2 MB of wikitext leading to a host of problems. Smaller portions may be appropriate and may improve stability. If alot of artwork is involved, single chapters may improve load times. The choice to host the entire volumn or by the chapter is up to the content uploader; but the naming convension must be adhered to.

The intro paragraph must always be followed by '''two empty lines''' in order to reduce visual clutter by seperating the WikiMedia generated contents table from the text.

==6. Internal Linking==
Paragraph anchors are created automatically by Level-4 headings. Otherwise as already mentioned: Users are encouraged to insert appropriate [[Internal Links|internal links to encyclopedic content only]], not essays, political or religious commentary, debates, or opinion pieces. This improves user experience and compounds [[SEO Trust Signals]] inside this major [[SEO Authority Signals|SEO Authority Signal]] to build [[Domain Authority]] for [[Conservapedia]] at large by building overall [[Search Engine Optimization]] accross the domain.

==7. Public Domain Declaration==
Every Original Source page must include a Public Domain Declaration using a Level-1 heading. This declaration must appear immediately above the =Index= section. It ensures legal clarity, improves [[SEO Trust Signals]], and maintains consistency across all chapters.
Standard format:
=Public Domain Declaration=
This text is in the public domain. [Author]'s [Work Title] may be freely reproduced.
=8. Index and Contents=
Each Original Source published under the chapter-by-chapter model, must include an =Index= section above the =See Also= section. The Index must list all chapters in the work, even if the list is long. This provides complete navigation and ensures readers can move through the work without relying on templates.
Standard format:
=Index=
* '''Original Source: Professional Title, First & Last Name - Work Title, Chapter 1'''
* '''Original Source: Professional Title, First & Last Name - Work Title, Chapter 2'''
* '''Original Source: Professional Title, First & Last Name - Work Title, Chapter 3'''
The Index appears ''after'' the Public Domain Declaration and ''before'' the See Also section.
=9. See Also=
Each chapter page must include a =See Also= section linking to relevant Conservapedia pages. This improves internal navigation, strengthens [[SEO Trust Signals]], and helps readers discover related content.
Standard format:
=See Also=
* [[Conservapedia's Original Source Project]]
* [[Original Source Naming Standard]]
* [[Internal Links]]
* [[SEO Trust Signals]]
=10. Categories=
Every Original Source page must include the following categories at minimum:
'''Category:Conservapedia's Original Source Project'''
'''Category:Original Sources'''
'''Category:Public Domain Works'''
Additional categories may be added for:
* the author (e.g., [[Category:Sir Isaac Newton]])
* the subject matter (e.g., [[Category:Biblical Commentaries]])
* historical or thematic relevance
Categories must always appear at the bottom of the page.
