Guidelines for Deleting or Moving a Page

Contributors and editors should be very cautious when considering deleting or moving a page. However, there are instances where this may be appropriate. For example:
*When duplicate pages exist and are combined into a single Topic Page
*When orphan pages without substantial content are discovered
*When a page needs to be renamed due to a typo in the page title
*When a page needs to be renamed to distinguish it from other content on the site

When moving a page, it is possible to leave a "redirect" page behind so that any links to the previous page on the website can be redirected to the new page. While this can be helpful, it is not ideal to maintain a significant number of redirect pages and does not result in a polished product for the end user. Alternatively, editors can revise all links within the website to the new location so that a redirect is not needed. Contributors have the ability to see which pages on the Dam Safety Toolbox website are linked to a specific page. This functionality is accessed by clicking on the dropdown in the toolbar that looks like a gear and selecting "What links here". When deleting or moving a page, it is recommended that all links be updated prior to the major edit to avoid the creation of broken links and redirects.

Contributors have the ability to upload files to the Dam Safety Toolbox website. This functionality is accessed by clicking on the dropdown in the toolbar that looks like a gear and selecting "Upload File". Supported file types include: PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, and PDF. The maximum supported file size is 80 MB. File uploads will typically consist of images to support Topic Pages, Best Practices Resources Pages, and Example Pages as well as PDFs of Best Practices Resources.

Upon upload, files are assigned a name by the contributor. All files should be given names that are explicit and aid in the identification of the Topic Page or reference that they are associated with. The use of generic names (e.g., photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg) is not allowed and may result in problematic overwriting of other files on the website if multiple users take this approach.

Regardless of file type, it is vital that all files that are uploaded and shared on the site comply with the [[Media and Copyright Policies and Guidelines]] established by ASDSO.

Guidelines for Creating an Example Page

2022-12-23T23:22:14Z

Rmanwaring:

__NOTOC__
[[Category: Dam Safety Toolbox Formatting/Style Guide]]
----
The term “Example Page” has been adopted to refer to any reference on the site that is not a technical guidance document, training, or Best Practices Resource. These will typically consist of case studies or other real-life narratives that are illustrative of the technical topic being addressed. This type of content is important to incorporate in the Dam Safety Toolbox; many people learn more from examples or experiences than from technical reports, and these real-life examples help demonstrate the concepts described in such reports. Such pages may include links to case studies on ASDSO’s [https://damfailures.org/ DamFailures.org] website, links to YouTube or other online streaming platforms with pertinent videos, or “dead end” pages within the Technical Library itself that share case studies or other similar content.

Example Pages can be accessed via a hyperlinked image and caption that can be included on the right side of any Topic Page as appropriate. One or more examples can also be linked to a single Topic Page by listing them under the “Examples” heading. Links may go directly to another website (e.g., DamFailures.org or YouTube.com). When the creation of Example Pages within the wiki is needed, these pages are formatted differently from the rest of the website. They typically feature an image carousel that can be used to share example photos and text in an interactive fashion.

A listing of all example pages created on the Dam Safety Toolbox can be access at [https://damtoolbox.org/wiki/Category:Example_Pages https://damtoolbox.org/wiki/Category:Example_Pages].

== Naming a New Example Page ==
Care should be taken when naming a new Example Page. Avoid simplistic titles or terms that can mean multiple things or apply to more than one discipline. Rather, names of example pages should be as specific as possible. For example, if creating an example page with examples of spillway gate failure mechanisms, the page should be called "Examples of Spillway Gate Failures" or "Spillway Gate Mechanisms". If it was simply called "Gates" or "Gate Failure", these generic page titles may inadvertently auto-link to other pages on the website where a link is not appropriate. In general, the inclusion of terms like "examples", "samples", and "case studies" is encouraged in Example Page titles.

== Typical Example Content ==
At a minimum, an example will consist of a link to a video, website, or other informative resource. An Example Page developed on the Dam Safety Toolbox site may include any and all of the following items:

# '''Title of example''' (this item is included in the title of the page)
# '''Source for content (organization, author, collection, etc.) and publication/release date'''
# '''Summary of content'''
# '''Content''' (gallery of images, link to video, etc.)

Formatting of an Example Page is more flexible than Topic Pages. The template code below can be used to create a basic Example Page that includes a key message along with a carousel of sample photos. Other images, hyperlinks, tables and figures can also be used to reinforce the message an example page is trying to convey.
----
== New Example Page Template Code ==
The following template code can be copied and pasted into the editor when creating a new Example Page to facilitate the process of creating, formatting, and reviewing new content. Users should add or delete sections, pictures, and code as necessary for a specific example.

Guidelines for Creating a Training Page

2022-12-23T23:19:19Z

Rmanwaring:

__NOTOC__
[[Category: Dam Safety Toolbox Formatting/Style Guide]]
----
Training Pages introduce a training resource and presenter(s)/speaker(s), provide a summary with key takeaways, and provide a link to the resource. The typical organization of a Training Page consists of the following items:

# '''Title of training''' (this item is included in the title of the page)
# '''Sponsoring organization and date of release'''
# '''List of speakers'''
# '''Summary of training and key takeaways''' (list or paragraph format)
# '''Link to access training resource'''

== Step 1: Adding a New Resource to the Catalog ==
The first step in adding a training resource to the Dam Safety Toolbox is to add it to the [[On-Demand Trainings|On-Demand Training Catalog]]. Before a user adds the training to the catalog, they should first ensure that it is not already on the site. Variations in name should be considered in confirming that the training needs to be added. The browser search function can be helpful in doing this.

To add a new training to the catalog, the [[On-Demand Trainings]] page must be edited by adding the following code to the table:

:''<nowiki>|-</nowiki> 
:''<nowiki>| Author || [[Title]] || Year of Publication</nowiki>

The reference should be added to the table in the following order:
#alphabetically by author (A to Z),
#numerically by date (newest to oldest), and
#alphabetically by title.

The title of the training should include a brief descriptor of the type of training (e.g., On-Demand Webinar, PowerPoint Presentation, Curriculum) followed by the descriptive title of the course.

== Step 2: Creating a New Training Resource Page ==
Once a training has been added to the [[On-Demand Trainings | On-Demand Training Catalog]], an accompanying Training Page can be created. Within the catalog, the title of the training should appear as red text indicating that an internal hyperlink has been created, but the linked page does not yet exist. By clicking on the red title link, the user is taken to the content editor for the new training page. The user then simply follows the instructions in the template below to complete the creation of the new training page.
----
== Training Page Template Code ==
The following template code should be copied and pasted into the editor when creating a new training page to facilitate the process of creating, formatting, and reviewing new content. Users should not add or delete sections of code except where specified. If specific items are not applicable or unavailable, these fields should be left blank.


''<nowiki>{{Trainings Template</nowiki>

Guidelines for Creating a Topic Page

2022-12-23T23:13:38Z

Rmanwaring:

__NOTOC__
[[Category: Dam Safety Toolbox Formatting/Style Guide]]
----
<noautolinks>Topic pages introduce a topic by providing relevant background information and peer-reviewed guidance. These pages are generally between 100 and 500 words in length. The purpose of these pages is not to document every formula and procedure relating to a topic, but rather to give an overview of the topic and point the user to Best Practices Resources where the topic is addressed in a more comprehensive manner.

Where appropriate, headings should be included to organize and distinguish between subsections of a single Topic Page. If more than a few subsections are needed to convey the information for a single topic page, the creation of new subtopic pages for each of the subsections should be considered. This will help keep Topic Pages concise and focused, thereby increasing the ability to link between subtopic pages and reducing the potential for redundancies in content.

== Naming a New Topic Page ==
Care should be taken when naming a new Topic Page. Avoid simplistic titles or terms that can mean multiple things or apply to more than one discipline. Rather, names of Topic Pages should be as specific as possible. For example, if creating a page about the design of relief wells, the page should be called "Design of Relief Wells." If it was simply called "Design", this generic page title may inadvertently auto-link to other pages on the website where the term "design" is used but a link to the very specific topic of relief wells is not appropriate.

== Typical Topic Page Content ==
At a minimum, a Topic Page will include a page name/title and introductory text (e.g., a definition of a given term). A thoroughly developed Topic Page may include any and all of the following content:

# '''Topic Page Title''' (see section above regarding the importance of naming a new Topic Page)
# '''Breadcrumb Menu Navigation Links'''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Adding "Breadcrumbs" to a Page | Learn how to create breadcrumb menu navigation links]]''
# '''Introductory Paragraph''' (typically 100 to 500 words in length)
# '''Pertinent Figures or Images''' (for demonstrative or aesthetic purposes)
#* ''[[Media and Copyright Policies and Guidelines | Learn about copyright law and the policies on using images on this site.]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates | Learn how to use the picture template for inserting images into Topic Pages]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Uploading New Files | Learn how to upload pictures and other files to the website]]''
# '''Links to Related Subtopic Pages''' or '''Sections with Guidance on Related Subtopics''' (when content for related subtopics is limited).
#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links | Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates | Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''
# '''List of Examples''' that illustrate the concepts explained in the previous section(s). These can be links to content on other websites such as ASDSO's DamFailures.org, news articles, videos, etc.

#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links | Learn how to create internal and external links]]''

#* [[Guidelines for Creating a Best Practices Resource Page | ''Learn how to create a New Best Practices Resource Page'']]
#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links | Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates | Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''
# '''List of Trainings''' that are applicable to the topic such as webinars, presentations, etc.

#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links | Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates | Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''
# '''List of Citations''' (if any) used in the previous sections.
#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting a Citation | Learn how to use the Citations Template to automatically populate a list of citations]]''
# '''Revision History''' should be included at the bottom of every page.
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates | Learn how to add the revision history template]]''

==Best Practices Resources, Trainings, and Examples==

Guidelines for Creating a Topic Page

2022-12-23T23:10:45Z

Rmanwaring:

__NOTOC__
[[Category: Dam Safety Toolbox Formatting/Style Guide]]
----
<noautolinks>Topic pages introduce a topic by providing relevant background information and peer-reviewed guidance. These pages are generally between 100 and 500 words in length. The purpose of these pages is not to document every formula and procedure relating to a topic, but rather to give an overview of the topic and point the user to Best Practices Resources where the topic is addressed in a more comprehensive manner.

Where appropriate, headings should be included to organize and distinguish between subsections of a single Topic Page. If more than a few subsections are needed to convey the information for a single topic page, the creation of new subtopic pages for each of the subsections should be considered. This will help keep Topic Pages concise and focused, thereby increasing the ability to link between subtopic pages and reducing the potential for redundancies in content.

== Naming a New Topic Page ==
Care should be taken when naming a new Topic Page. Avoid simplistic titles or terms that can mean multiple things or apply to more than one discipline. Rather, names of Topic Pages should be as specific as possible. For example, if creating a page about the design of relief wells, the page should be called "Design of Relief Wells." If it was simply called "Design", this generic page title may inadvertently auto-link to other pages on the website where the term "design" is used but a link to the very specific topic of relief wells is not appropriate.

== Typical Topic Page Content ==
At a minimum, a Topic Page will include a page name/title and introductory text (e.g., a definition of a given term). A thoroughly developed Topic Page may include any and all of the following content:

# '''Topic Page Title''' (see section above regarding the importance of naming a new topic page)
# '''Breadcrumb Menu Navigation Links'''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Adding "Breadcrumbs" to a Page|Learn how to create breadcrumb menu navigation links]]''
# '''Introductory Paragraph''' (typically 100 to 500 words in length)
# '''Pertinent Figures or Images''' (for demonstrative or aesthetic purposes)
#* ''[[Media and Copyright Policies and Guidelines | Learn about copyright law and the policies on using images on this site.]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates|Learn how to use the picture template for inserting images into Topic Pages]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Uploading New Files|Learn how to upload pictures and other files to the website]]''
# '''Links to Related Subtopic Pages''' or '''Sections with Guidance on Related Subtopics''' (when content for related subtopics is limited).
#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links|Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates|Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''
# '''List of Examples''' that illustrate the concepts explained in the previous section(s). These can be links to content on other websites such as ASDSO's DamFailures.org, news articles, videos, etc.
#* [[Guidelines for Creating an Example Page | ''Learn how to create a new Example Page'']]
#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links|Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates|Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''
# '''List of Best Practices Resources''' that are applicable to the topic of interest.
#* [[Guidelines for Creating a Best Practices Resource Page | ''Learn how to create a New Best Practices Resource Page'']]
#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links|Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates|Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''

#* ''[[Guidelines for Inserting Links|Learn how to create internal and external links]]''
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates|Learn how to create icons for document, website, and video hyperlinks]]''
# '''List of Citations''' (if any) used in the previous sections.

# '''Revision History''' should be included at the bottom of every page.
#* ''[[Guidelines for Using Templates|Learn how to add the revision history template]]''

==Best Practices Resources, Trainings, and Examples==
When creating and updating a topic page, it is important to make sure that the content is supported by links to the best resources that are available about that topic. Contributors and editors should review the following lists of resources that have been uploaded to the Dam Safety Toolbox and add links to topic pages as appropriate.

Guidelines for Inserting Links

2022-12-23T23:01:06Z

Rmanwaring: /* Auto-Generated Hyperlinks */

__NOTOC__
[[Category: Formatting Guidelines]]
----
==Internal Hyperlinks==
Links to other pages within the Dam Safety Toolbox are encouraged to facilitate <noautolinks>navigation</noautolinks> and exploration of the range of content on the site. If there are subtopics that relate to a given Topic Page, the inclusion of internal links to related subtopics should be included.

Internal hyperlinks can be created manually by including double brackets around the name of the desired page (e.g., <nowiki>[[Types of Dams]]</nowiki> will create a hyperlink to the [[Types of Dams]] page). Internal hyperlinks will appear as blue text that is underlined when a user hovers over it. If an internal hyperlink is defined for a page that does not exist, it will appear as [[red text]] and will take the user to the page creation editor if the linked is clicked. To customize the text of the hyperlink, insert a pipe or vertical bar after the name of the page (e.g., <nowiki>[[Types of Dams | many different kinds of dams]] will create a hyperlink to the "Types of Dams" page</nowiki>, but the hyperlinked text will read [[Types of Dams | many different kinds of dams]]).

==External Hyperlinks==
To minimize maintenance and the potential for broken hyperlinks, hyperlinks to external websites should be used judiciously. It is appropriate to include external links if a reference is a webpage or some other document that is not publicly available. This may be the case for copyrighted material (e.g., building codes) that is only available for purchase.

External hyperlinks can be created by including single brackets around the URL of the desired page (e.g., <nowiki>[https://damsafety.org/]</nowiki> will create a numbered hyperlink to the ASDSO's main webpage as follows: [https://damsafety.org/]). External hyperlinks will appear as purple text that is underlined when a user hovers over it. To customize the text of the hyperlink, insert space and text after the URL (e.g., <nowiki>[https://damsafety.org/ ASDSO's site]</nowiki> will create a hyperlink to ASDSO's main webpage, but the hyperlinked text will read [https://damsafety.org/ ASDSO's site]).

|}

==Auto-Generated Hyperlinks==
Each time a page is saved by a user, a MediaWiki extension is run to automatically create internal hyperlinks to pages with titles that match the exact text on the saved page. If the auto-generated hyperlinks are not appropriate or desired for a given page, the link can be deleted and text excluded from the auto-linking MediaWiki extension feature by adding the "noautolinks" command (e.g., <nowiki><noautolinks> there are many different types of dams </noautolinks></nowiki>. In this case "types of dams" would typically generate an auto-link to the [[Types of Dams]] page, but the use of the "noautolinks" command excludes the entire phrase "there are many different types of dams" from internal auto-linking).

==ASDSO's Dam Safety Toolbox==
[[File:logos.jpg|right|200px|link=|caption]]
The mission of the [https://damsafety.org/ Association of State Dam Safety Officials] (ASDSO) is to improve the condition and safety of dams and lower the risk of dam failures through education, support for state dam safety programs, and fostering a unified dam safety community. The ASDSO Dam Safety Toolbox website supports that mission by providing a comprehensive outline of dam safety topics and guidelines as well as facilitating the sharing of knowledge and tools among dam safety professionals. The website serves as a repository of current guidelines and recommendations widely considered to be the State-of-the-Practice with regard to dam safety.

# Quotes should be cited correctly where used. Quotes can range in purpose from introducing the subject of the Topic Page, defining key terms, listing key equations or concepts, providing specific instructions, outlining workflows, etc.
# As additional content is added to Topic Pages, and to prevent the page from becoming too lengthy, a child-level Topic Page for a specific topic heading within the parent Topic Page should be created when the amount of content for the parent Topic Page section warrants it. In general, Topic Pages should be kept to between 100-500 words in length, and this guideline should be remembered when considering the movement of a parent-level section to a new child-level Topic Page.

Policies for the Dam Safety Toolbox are set by the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) to guide the development of a living resource to promote dam safety. For this reason, the Dam Safety Toolbox policies help to inform users of the website of the procedures and guidelines associated with creating, editing, and moderating content to ensure the highest level of content quality possible. Policies for the Dam Safety Toolbox are subject to revision by ASDSO.

Guidelines for the Dam Safety Toolbox are generally-accepted practices for the creation of website content which also adhere to any applicable policies. Guidelines help users creating new content to maintain a uniform style and feel to the website from page to page. Ultimately, guidelines for the Dam Safety Toolbox are to be implemented into website content using reason and common sense; being applied whenever reasonably possible, but also allowing for modifications when deemed necessary. Ultimately, the moderation process will determine whether or not any deviation from a guideline is warranted, or whether an update to the guideline in question is required. As with policies, guidelines for the Dam Safety Toolbox are also subject to revision by ASDSO.

== Contribution and Moderation Process Overview ==
ASDSO's Dam Safety Toolbox is written and maintained by a community of volunteers through open collaboration and a wiki-based editing system. Contribution from users is encouraged to continually expand and improve the content and resources available on the site. Suggested edits will not be viewable by other users until they have been reviewed and approved by website editors. Only ASDSO publications or non-copyrighted information (including images) should be uploaded to the website.

Volunteer editors from ASDSO's Dam Design and Construction Committee moderate and maintain the website. Subject Matter Experts are responsible for reviewing all technical content prior to publication. Once technical content has been reviewed and approved for publication, Website Editors are responsible for moderating edits within the MediaWiki environment in accordance with the [[Dam Safety Toolbox Formatting/Style Guide]] and the [[Dam Safety Toolbox Policies and Procedures Guide]].
