Pull Request Checklist

General Writing Standards

Voice and Clarity

• Text is primarily written in active voice
• Acronyms are written in full at least once on the page where they are used
• We refer to Handbook topics where possible (e.g. to the Handbook page about Yoda instead of some other information page about Yoda)

Links and Referencing

• All links use https:// protocol
• Links are descriptive (avoid "click here" links)
• For pages with a DOI, link through the DOI (e.g., https://doi.org/10.4444/xxxx)

Tone and Style

• Avoid writing in the name of the handbook (no "we recommend")

Topic-Specific Standards

• Topics are nouns or noun phrases
• Topics are self-contained and concise
• Topics are title capitalized
• No include statements in topics
• Only use regular markdown (no special Quarto code)
• Where relevant, assign a suitable category

Checklist Usage

• Fill out this checklist when submitting a pull request
• Automated checks will verify some of these standards, but manual review is still crucial

Note to Contributors: Thank you for helping maintain the quality of our handbook!

Note: I also harmonised the pages on software archiving and publishing in the process because I was trying to look if we mention version control or git elsewhere, and then I stumbled upon this.

Thanks for writing this, Elisa 🙏, and for updating the topics on software archiving and software publishing as well. I made a few small changes to the text and now it's ready to be merged.,
