Category:Countries: Difference between revisions

List of pages that contain information about OLPC in different countries. Please include a short paragraph in English at the top of each page to direct readers to any English-language resources about your country project. After that, feel free to use your native language.

Guidelines

1. Country pages should be in the form of [[OLPC shortEnglishName]]. Put your country name into shortEnglishName.
2. Include the following: [[Category:Countries|shortEnglishName]]
   • the page will then be included in this category, and
   • be sorted by shortEnglishName (otherwise, it'll be under 'O'LPC...)
3. Never use the page for only your own project or solely a private group instead of OLPC project in your country. A country page should be a general resource about OLPC itself in the country even if official OLPC project has not yet launched there.
4. Build a 'subcategory' for OLPC in your country then put all local resources rather than global things. Please regaard this subcatgory as the local 'site' of the country and the above country page as homepage of the local site. (Please note that the 'translated' pages should be considered as global resources because they are only a 'language version' of a multilingual site.)
5. For the translated pages in this catergory, please make subpage of this 'Category:Countries' thus 'Category:Countries/lang-xx' then;
   • in 'Category:Countries/lang-xx' page itself, tag [[Category:Countries|xx]]. xx is a 2 letters language code in lower case. It acts as a subcategory.
   • in the tranlsated pages, tag [[Category:Countries/lang-xx]]. They are categorized into the subcategory for translated pages in main category.
6. Generic documents which isn't dedicated a specific country would be tagged like this [[Category:Countries| ]](white space after pipe |) then they are listed first.
7. Now, in this category, we can get following;
   • generic informational pages indexed top
   • all country pages sorted by a country name
   • doorway to each country's local resources
   • translated pages grouped by language
