Talk:Outline of electronics

Untitled

Starting every word with a capital letter, as in "Power Factor Correction Circuits", etc., is forbidden by WP:MOS. The link from this page to crystal oscillator appeared as a red link even though that article exists, simply because of the incorrectly capitalized initial "O" in Crystal Operator (the "C" is case-insensitive in links since it's the first letter of the link) (and I've now created the page with two capital initial letters as a redirect page).

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
