Talk:Outline of energy

message: The content of this article do not reflect the title. An "Energy directory" should list all sorts of energy. Futhermore, an article that only has links is inappropriate. It should be a category. But there is already categories like :Category:Renewable energy. This whole article seems to be designed to push what one person thinks is good energy sources.

thread_title: Blocked websites?

message: It seems to me that this page is essentially a subset of the Energy page - which note is itself just a big list.  (Not to say that it is redundant - there is a lot here that isn't there).
Many of the topics on this page could fit into the sections already existing on that page (perhaps as subsections or sub-bullets). Particularly into the "Society" section though not exclusively.
Even the definition at the topic reads vaguely like the one on the Energy page.

replies: text: See WP:LIST and WP:EIW#Lists for more information about list articles and when they are appropriate. The MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia has (at least) three independent and sometimes overlapping methods for navigation: links, lists, and categories. List of energy topics can contain many more links than might fit into the prose of an article like Energy. Also see WP:SIZE - we do not want an article like Energy to become "too large." List of energy topics can absorb large numbers of links that editors might otherwise try to add to the Energy article along with explanatory prose. --Teratornis (talk) 19:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with "Energy" Page ? 

message: We could add several Energy templates to the bottom of List of energy topics, such as , , , and others in . Doing this would result in a big stack of hidden-by-default navigation box templates that users could expand by clicking their "show" links. I would like to add all suitable energy-related navigation templates to the bottom of the article, since this would add dozens of links to energy topics, and the links would grow as other users add more links to the templates, but I thought I would ask here first, to see if anyone objects. --Teratornis (talk) 19:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Since nobody objected, I added several navigation templates. --Teratornis (talk) 18:04, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lead 

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
