MDGarcia: Create Orders project page (linked to Ships via BuShips/Naval Directives)

2026-07-21T22:47:44Z

Create Orders project page (linked to Ships via BuShips/Naval Directives)

New page

{{TFW navbar header}}{{Venue header|Orders Project|shortcut=TFW:ORDERS}}
<div class="tf-board-lead">
The '''Orders Project''' maintains the ''Tenth Fleet Wiki'' as a complete, verbatim, and searchable record of the organization's directive history – Admiralty Orders, Naval Directives, Bureau of Ships Directives, Fleet Orders, Ship's Orders, and the earliest Tenth Fleet orders – each captured faithfully from its source and enriched with consistent metadata and a standardized lead, ''without ever altering the order text itself''.

'''Project lead:''' [[User:MDGarcia|Michael Garcia]] (Lord McCovey Cove).
</div>
{{TOCright}}

== Goal ==
Every directive on record as its own page, that:
* reproduces the order '''verbatim''' from its source (forum post or attached PDF), never summarized;
* carries a standardized two-sentence lead identifying the issuing office and summarizing the order, added ''above'' the verbatim text;
* is tagged with consistent <code><nowiki>{{Order info}}</nowiki></code> metadata (date, issuer, type, status, supersession) for search and cross-referencing.

== Scope ==
All directive types across the organization and its history:
* '''Admiralty Orders''', '''Naval Directives''', '''Bureau of Ships Directives''', Joint Chiefs and other bureau directives;
* '''Fleet Orders''' and '''Ship's Orders''' (subordinate to the above);
* the earliest '''Tenth Fleet orders (2013–2014)''', which predate the forums and were reconstructed from the original member group.

== Method ==
# '''Capture verbatim.''' Transcribe the order exactly from the source. Newer directives often post a summary blurb with the real order as an attached PDF – extract and reproduce the PDF, not the blurb.
# '''Add the lead, don't touch the body.''' Prepend the two-sentence lead; the issuer is extrapolated from who held the relevant office on the order's date, the summary is drawn from the order body.
# '''Tag with metadata.''' Record date, issuer, type, and status in <code><nowiki>{{Order info}}</nowiki></code>. Corrections and context are added as ''new metadata fields'', never by editing the order.
# '''Mark succession.''' When a later order supersedes an earlier one (a role or command reassigned), set the earlier order's status to ''Superseded'' with a <code>by=</code> pointer – only when a specific superseding order is identified.

== Conventions and rulings ==
Decisions adopted for the project, recorded so they are applied consistently:
* '''The order record is forensic and immutable.''' These pages are used by the [[Bureau of Training|Bureau of Training]] for examinations. '''Order content is never altered''' – not for spelling, not for clarity. All tooling and corrections live in <code><nowiki>{{Order info}}</nowiki></code> fields or the added lead, never in the order text.
* '''Verbatim, not summarized.''' Content goes in word-for-word. Light formatting (a bold lead sentence, wikilinks, the news template) is allowed; wording is never changed.
* '''An absent order is not evidence of a change.''' A command, ship, or office only changes when a directive says so – silence in the record proves nothing (this is the same rule the [[/Ships|Ships]] project relies on).
* '''Data protection.''' Where a page falls under the wiki's [[TenthFleet:GDPR|data-protection policy]], the command record is preserved while honors lists and rosters are removed; information about children is always redacted. Every redaction cites the policy.
* '''Link peerages, not people.''' Peerage titles and place-names are wikilinked (markup only, which does not alter the verbatim text); personal names are not.

An initial batch of order pages that lacked a lead has been brought to the two-sentence standard; roughly 170 single-sentence pages and about a dozen undated pages remain. Supersession tagging and the 2013–2014 backfill are ongoing.

== To do ==
* Finish the two-sentence lead pass (the remaining single-sentence and undated pages).
* Continue supersession tagging where a superseding order can be positively identified.
* Complete the 2013–2014 Tenth Fleet backfill and its year-block index.
* Reconcile PDF-attachment orders that currently show only the forum summary blurb.
