Outlines High‑importance

	This article is an outline, a type of article that presents a list of articles or sub-topics related to its subject in a hierarchical form. For the standardized set of outlines on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines. Outlines are within the scope of WikiProject Outlines, a collaborative effort to improve outlines on Wikipedia. For guidance on building and maintaining outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.OutlinesWikipedia:WikiProject OutlinesTemplate:WikiProject OutlinesOutlines

Explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline", which is a type of tree structure and list. There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines and topic outlines; on Wikipedia (WP) we have topic outlines, though their listed topics may each be annotated with a sentence or two describing them.

Another name for outlines is "structured lists", and in the case of Wikipedia outlines: "structured topics lists". Structure (levels) in WP outlines are represented through the use of headings and indenting the list items.

Since topics on WP correspond with articles, outlines on WP serve as site maps for its subjects. These navigation aids can help you find your way around areas of knowledge on WP, even when you are not sure what you are looking for.

Together, the outlines form a subject classification system, to help organize knowledge into related areas. Because of this, they are one of WP's Contents systems.

For more in-depth explanations, and instructions on how to develop outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines. There are currently around 900 stand-alone outlines on WP. For the main list of them, see Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines. — The Transhumanist 06:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Influential persons section

Each entry should probably have a brief explanation of the person's contribution to fluid dynamics. To expand an entry beyond the transcluded annotation, simply add a period or comma directly after the closing curly brackets of the template call, and continue writing. — The Transhumanist 05:22, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
