Conventions for newspaper content on Wikisource
[edit]The way individual articles from a common publication are aggregated and indexed also varies. It ranges from automated aggregation to a half dozen ways of manually aggregating them in various formats, such as lists and sortable tables, with and without annotations about the individual articles. There are also various schemes to index them by year and month using categories. See for example:
- The New York Times
- New York Times
- Portal:New York Times
- Category:The New York Times
- Category:The New York Times by date
They will have to merged and harmonized in the future. There are also article titles containing annotations such as New York Times/1900/Advertisement: Epson Salts
and New York Times/1900/Obituary: John Smith
. There are also entries where the article has no formal title and a fragment of the first sentence serves as the title: New York Times/1900/Today something amazing happened
" or New York Times/1900/Today something amazing happened …
