From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interpretation is the verbal, visual or physical connection made between a visitor and an artifact or resource's underlying meanings. In essence, interpretation answers a visitor's chief question of, "Why should I care?"[1]

[edit] Insert Heading Text Here
This first section goes to further clarify the previous description. It can include further discussion and debate over what a concept entails, but it should remain written from a neutral viewpoint. To cite certain examples, a footnote may be added at the end of a page which will then transfer to the end of the document in the references section.[2]
To create a link to another concept or article, an editor can insert double-bracketed text. Text which appears in blue indicates an article which does exist. Text is red indicates an article which does not exist yet. Do not hesitate to link to articles and concepts which do not yet exist. This is the backbone of how wiki structure is formed.
[edit] Sub-Headings
Subheadings may be used to clarify a point or to push forward an exception to the text used in a heading. In general, subheadings are used so that an interesting point of argument in an article may be reached quickly and easily from the article's table of contents.
Articles generally require 4 headings or subheadings to exhibit a table of contents. Try to keep this minimum number of headings or subheadings in mind while writing for the wiki.
[edit] Links and Resources
This area is for linking to other resources that may be related to this article.
[edit] Documentation
- This can include links to outside sites, such as individual programs in parks or interpretive sites that seem to be examples of the concept discussed in the article. They may also include documents held in the wiki, such as articles in Meaningful Interpretation and other static pieces from the wiki library.
- External Links may be made to pages outside of the wiki by including single-bracketed text where the web address comes first, followed by a space and then the text you wish to appear as the link.
- Most of these links will appear as bullets in a list, which may be achieved by starting a line with an "*" then a space, then beginning your text.
[edit] Interpretive Examples
- These may be links to IDP certified material, be it in printed or digital media format. Some examples could include links to YouTube video content, MP3 audio of interpretive programming, Flickr accounts containing images of special programs which fit the concept of the article or PDF files of example program outlines.
