📖 Core Concepts Primary topic – the subject most readers expect when they type a title into the search box. Broad‑concept article – an article that explains a general idea rather than a single, specific instance of that idea. Placement of article content – the text can either be written directly on the target page or first drafted on a separate page and later moved to the proper title. Related titles – other titles that have a connection to the main subject; they should be mentioned inside the article to clarify the relationship. 📌 Must Remember The primary topic is chosen because most readers are looking for it. Editors may decide a title needs a broad‑concept article when the general idea is more useful than a single example. Two placement options: Write the article straight on the current page. Draft it elsewhere first, then move it to the main title. Always describe related titles within the article; do not leave them unaddressed. 🔄 Key Processes Identify the primary topic – ask: “What will the majority of readers be seeking?” Choose article scope – if the topic is a general idea, opt for a broad‑concept article; otherwise, treat it as a specific instance. Decide placement – If the content is ready and fits the title, write it directly on the page. If more work is needed, draft on a separate page, then move to the main title. Handle related titles – list them in the article and explain how they connect to the primary topic. 🔍 Key Comparisons Primary topic vs. specific instance – Primary topic = what most readers want; specific instance = a narrower case that may not serve the majority. Write directly on page vs. draft elsewhere – Direct write = immediate placement; draft elsewhere = work‑in‑progress that is later moved. ⚠️ Common Misunderstandings Assuming any popular subject is automatically the primary topic – the primary topic must be the most likely target for the title. Treating unrelated titles as “related” – only titles with a genuine connection belong in the “related titles” section; unrelated ones should not be forced into the article. 🧠 Mental Models / Intuition Library‑catalog model: think of Wikipedia like a library catalog where the primary topic is the most frequently checked‑out book for a given call number. Draft‑then‑move = “writing workshop” – you can sketch a piece in a workshop (separate page) before displaying it on the main stage (the title). 🚩 Exceptions & Edge Cases Not enough information in source outline to detail special exceptions or edge cases. 📍 When to Use Which Broad‑concept article → when the title covers a general idea that benefits many readers. Specific‑instance article → when the title refers to a single, narrowly defined subject. Write directly → when the article is complete and clearly matches the title. Draft elsewhere → when the article needs further development or peer review before occupying the main title. 👀 Patterns to Recognize “Primary topic” appears whenever a title is likely to attract the largest audience. “Broad‑concept” signals that the article should stay high‑level, not dive into a single case. “Related titles” always accompany a brief explanatory note linking them to the main subject. 🗂️ Exam Traps Choosing a specific instance when a broad‑concept article is required – the trap is to focus on one example and ignore the general idea. Leaving related titles out of the article – exam questions may present a title that expects you to mention its connections; omitting them looks incomplete. Drafting on the wrong page and forgetting to move it – the article may be marked as misplaced, leading to a loss of credit for proper placement.
