Abstract Wikipedia/Examples

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Here are examples of what Abstract Content could look like. Note that these are not prescriptive examples, but illustrative ones. The look of the Constructors and their rendering results will be entirely up to the communities.

AbstractText

From AbstractText prototype.

 subclassification_string_from_n_n_language(n_wikipedia, n_encyclopedia, English)
  • English : Wikipedias are encyclopedias.
 subclassification_string_from_n_n_language(n_wikipedia, n_encyclopedia, German)
  • German : Wikipedien sind Enzyklopädien.

In the syntax below, that would look like:

 Subclassification(Wikipedia, Encyclopedia)
  • English : Wikipedias are encyclopedias.
  • German : Wikipedien sind Enzyklopädien.

User interface mockup

At Early mockups § Succession, you can see two mockup (very rough) images for what a single Constructor and an English Renderer for it, might look like within an editor's user-interface.
