From Step Mods | Change The Game

The following sections contain information about Semantic Data usage grouped by primary Form. A second level heading (==) should label forms being used (Form:xxxx), and describe their purpose and associated templates. A fourth level heading (====) should label templates being used (Template:xxxx) by the form, and contain tables that map template fields to Semantic Properties (use class="propertytable" on the table, and class="na" for cells that contain "N/A"). Refer to the Form:Mod section as an example of what should be expected.

To propose new semantic properties, forms, and/or templates, create a second level heading (==) at the bottom of this page with a descriptive title, and list the proposed additions (names of proposed forms, templates, or properties aren't as important as clearly defining their intended purpose). Just remember the primary focus of this page is is in relation to Semantic use.

Be sure to also check out the Talk page for on-going discussions about all things related to the Data Dictionary.
