The goal of this outline is to standardize the communication of scientific and technical information. Try to follow the spirit of the outline but delete irrelevant sections and alter as needed. If information for a section is not available at the time of page creation, but the section is still relevant, keep the section to indicate the opportunity to contribute to others. Additional guidance is provided in comments that only appear in the source code.
