Wowpedia:Article type

[ Wowpedia ] = "This article is about . . . Wowpedia.".

The Article Type identifies the type of article the reader is looking at. It is used to clearly distinguish between commonly repeated TYPES (CLASSES) OF ARTICLES without necessarily turning it into a Category list. (An article type CAN be a Category:, but it doesn't NEED to be.)

The primary purpose is to quickly (“at a glance�?) identify for the reader what the article is about -- for this reason, it appears at the top of the page (as opposed to Categories, which appear at the bottom of the page.)

Additional extensions
Additional extensions could be added. For example:


 * UI:Interface Customization - This article is about WoW Interface Customization. (an article about an AddOn/Interface customization for WoW, including "HowTo"/"UserGuide" articles).
 * Example:
 * This is an article about WoW Interface Customization (AddOns or Function Libraries). 


 * UI:AddOn Detail - an article about a specific component of an AddOn/Interface customization.


 * Location:City - an article about a City (sub-class of Location).

etc.

Proposed structure

 * UI
 * Category:AddOns / Interface Customization (Any AddOns that aren't related to UI customizations?)
 * Cosmos AddOns
 * Hosted AddOns
 * Hosted AddOn Subpages (including Functions?)

Additional options
Possible variation: Use the article type tag (or variant) to identify the content type? (This article is....; This article consists of.....)
 * Article Content Types:
 * Guide - This article is a Guide. (For example, a "HOWTO" guide.)
 * List - This article is a List. (Includes Categories.)

etc.
