[edit] The Need for Standardization
The principle reason behind the standardization of WikiIslam is quality control. The more standardized WikiIslam is then
- the more readable its text is
- the better the impression it makes on WikiIslam's readers
- the easier it is to edit an article
[edit] Templates
Templates will be the tool that WikiIslam will use to standardize its content. Templates are the best option since
- Templates act like a black box so the editor can just type away and the template does all of the standardization
- Templates allow quick and easy changes to the standard; changes which immediately affects all text that used that template
To learn more about templates please read the Wikipedia article on Templates

|---|---|

| {{Muslim|1|5}} | Sahih Muslim 1:5 |

| {{Muwatta|1|1|5|}} | Al-Muwatta 1 1.5 |
[edit] Quotes
If you are quoting a source type {{Quote|***|***|***}}
All three parameters are optional, a call to this template with no parameters will create an empty quote box. The first parameter will be displayed at the very top of the quote box. The second parameter (if it exists) will insert a newline directly after the first parameter and it will then display its (i.e. the second parameter's) text directly after the newline (i.e. underneath the first parameter). The third parameter (if it exists) will be placed directly underneath the second parameter and a newline will be inserted between the second parameter and the third parameter.
[edit] Examples
| What you type | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| {{Quote}} | {{{2}}}
|
| {{Quote|For disbelievers is a painful doom. }} | {{{2}}}
For disbelievers is a painful doom. |
| {{Quote|Quran 002.104 |For disbelievers is a painful doom. }} | For disbelievers is a painful doom.
Quran 002.104 |
| {{Quote|Quran 002.104 |For disbelievers is a painful doom.|See Also Quran 002.174}} | For disbelievers is a painful doom.
Quran 002.104 , See Also Quran 002.174 |
| {{Quote|Our youths only want one thing, to kill you so they can go to paradise.|-Osama bin Laden}} | -Osama bin Laden
Our youths only want one thing, to kill you so they can go to paradise. |
[edit] Quoting Islamic Texts
Due to how frequently Islamic texts are quoted at this site, this standard is one of the most important standards used here at Wiki-Islam. To quote an Islamic text first use the Quote template discussed above with the first parameter being a reference to the verse and the second parameter being the verse itself.
You may add any type of emphasis (i.e. bold text or italic text) to the quote. You are also able to do almost anything that you would have regularly been able to do with Wiki-Islam while inside of a quote.
[edit] Examples
So the above table should have been formatted like this:
| What you type | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| {{Quote|{{Quran|2|104}}|For disbelievers is a painful doom.}} | |
| {{Quote|{{Quran|2|104}}|For disbelievers is a painful doom.|See Also {{Quran|2|174}}}} | |
| {{Quote|{{Bukhari|7|62|33}}|Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women."}} | Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women."
|
| {{Quote|{{Muslim|36|6597}}|...I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women}} | ...I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women
|
