Template:Calibration Template
This template provides a quick-reference table for which navigation templates to use when building Calibration Log infrastructure at different page depths (main page, subpage, sub-subpage). It exists because pages at different depths in the hierarchy need different back-navigation — a Calibration Log for a subpage needs to link back further than one for a main page.
Usage
{{Calibration Template}} is the quick reference for navigation templates at different nesting levels. Do not transclude it on this page (it is for reference only).
Use this table to determine which template to insert based on the page's depth in the hierarchy.
Calibration Log Templates Usage
Includes Decision Records. Per Decision Records: Governance Memory, Decision Records are merged into the existing Calibration Log infrastructure rather than requiring separate templates — but where a dedicated subpage exists, Calibration Log and Decision Records are sibling nested pages under the same master, not combined into one.
Standalone Use, No Subpages
Step One: Insert in Main Page or Subpage
- Applies when Calibration Log: When to Create One determined this page doesn't need a dedicated `/Calibration Log` subpage. Both the Calibration Log and Decision Records live on the page's Talk history — low-effort by design.
- Standalone template for the Calibration Menu:
{{Standalone Transparency}}
- If this page later becomes complex enough to warrant a dedicated subpage (re-run the Calibration Log: When to Create One test), switch to the appropriate Standard Use section below and transfer the existing Talk-page history forward as a starting point.
Standard Use, Main Page with Subpages
Step One: Insert in Main Page
- Quick reference for building Mainpage pages.
- Standard template for the Calibration Menu on the main page:
{{Page Transparency}}
Step Two: Insert in Dependent Subpages of Calibration Log & Decision Records
- Quick reference for building Mainpage/Calibration Log and Mainpage/Decision Records — two separate nested pages, both sitting directly under the main page as their master.
- Standard template for the Calibration Menu shown on both subpages:
{{Calibration Log Header}}
Structure at a glance:
Master ├─ [[Master/Calibration Log]] └─ [[Master/Decision Records]]
Standard Use, Subpage with Its Own Subpages
Step One: Insert in Subpage
- Quick reference for building Mainpage/Subpage pages.
- Standard template for the Calibration Menu on a subpage:
{{Page Transparency-Subpage}}
Step Two: Insert in Dependent Subpages of Calibration Log & Decision Records
- Quick reference for building Subpage/Calibration Log and Subpage/Decision Records — two separate nested pages, both sitting directly under the subpage as their master (not the main page).
- Standard template for the Calibration Menu shown on both sub-subpages:
{{Calibration Log Header-Subpage}}
Structure at a glance:
Master Subpage ├─ [[Subpage/Calibration Log]] └─ [[Subpage/Decision Records]]
Note on deeper nesting: this table currently covers up to Mainpage/Subpage/Calibration Log and Mainpage/Subpage/Decision Records. If a page ever needs a subpage of a subpage of a subpage (four levels deep), a corresponding `-Subpage` variant navigation template would need to be created for that depth as well, following the same naming pattern.
