Dieses Dokument definiert die Standardstruktur, den Tonfall und die Formatierungsregeln für alle Craftpedia-Artikel über traditionelles Handwerk und handwerkliche Techniken. Es gilt für alle Sprachen und alle regionalen Portale.

Ziel dieses Leitfadens ist es, sicherzustellen, dass alle Craftpedia-Artikel einheitlich, wissenschaftlich fundiert und leicht verständlich sind und gleichzeitig mit maschinell unterstützten Übersetzungsprozessen kompatibel bleiben.

Zweck dieses Leitfadens

Der Craftpedia-Artikelstilleitfaden legt Folgendes fest:

  • die erforderliche Struktur für Artikel;
  • den bevorzugten Schreibstil;
  • Formatierungskonventionen;
  • Kategorienregeln;
  • Richtlinien zur Bildverwendung;
  • Regeln zur sprachübergreifenden Konsistenz.

Jeder Artikel in Craftpedia muss dieser Struktur folgen, es sei denn, ein Portal verwendet einen detaillierteren lokalen Standard.

Allgemeine Grundsätze

Craftpedia-Artikel müssen diesen Grundsätzen entsprechen:

  • Klarheit – Informationen müssen klar und verständlich präsentiert werden.
  • Genauigkeit – Jede Aussage muss anhand verlässlicher Quellen überprüft werden.
  • Neutralität – Artikel dürfen keine werbliche oder voreingenommene Sprache enthalten.
  • Einheitlichkeit – Alle Portale müssen dieselbe Artikelstruktur verwenden.
  • Respekt vor dem kulturellen Erbe – Terminologie und Beschreibungen müssen alle kulturellen Traditionen respektieren.

Vorlage für die Artikelstruktur

Jeder Craftpedia-Artikel über eine Handwerkstradition sollte der Standardstruktur folgen. Abschnitte können erweitert, aber nicht entfernt werden.

Einleitung

Eine kurze Zusammenfassung (2–4 Sätze) mit folgenden Angaben:

  • Name des Handwerks (englischer Name + ggf. Form in der Originalsprache);
  • Herkunftsregion des Handwerks;
  • Hauptmaterialien und -techniken;
  • kulturelle Bedeutung.

Die Einleitung darf keine detaillierten historischen Abhandlungen oder lange Listen enthalten.

Example:

Arita ware (有田焼, Arita-yaki) is a Japanese porcelain tradition developed in the early 17th century in Saga Prefecture. It is known for its refined white clay, cobalt-blue underglaze painting, and strong export influence on European ceramics.

Historical Background

Covers:

  • origins (century, founders, influences);
  • key historical phases;
  • political, economic, or cultural context;
  • periods of innovation or decline.

This section may refer to historical periods (e.g., Edo period, Qing dynasty, Joseon era).

Materials

Describes:

  • raw materials (clays, woods, metals, pigments, fibers);
  • their geographic sources;
  • preparation methods (refining, filtering, alloying, softening).

If relevant, describe regional variations.

Techniques

Explains:

  • primary production process (step-by-step overview);
  • specialized techniques (casting, weaving, throwing, carving, lacquering);
  • unique or characteristic methods.

This section should be factual, not instructional.

Tools and Equipment

(Required only if relevant)

Includes:

  • traditional tools (e.g., bamboo brushes, kick wheels, chisels);
  • specialized equipment (kilns, looms, furnaces).

Regional Variations

Describes differences across:

  • prefectures or provinces;
  • villages or workshops;
  • regional schools or styles.

Each variation should be clearly marked with a subheading.

Cultural and Ritual Significance

(Required only if applicable)

Explains:

  • symbolic meaning;
  • ritual or ceremonial uses;
  • social status associated with the craft;
  • relevance in traditional events or beliefs.

Modern Developments

Covers:

  • contemporary artists and studios;
  • revival efforts;
  • museum collections;
  • international influence;
  • integration into modern design or industry.

Notable Objects or Types

A curated list of representative object forms connected to the craft.

Examples:

  • flower vases
  • incense burners
  • sake cups
  • sword fittings

Each item may link to its own article if available.

Images must follow:

  • preference for museum and open-licensed photographs;
  • prohibition of AI-generated images (see Media & Image Usage Policy);
  • proper licensing (CC, open access collections);
  • accurate and neutral captions.

References

Every article must include:

  • academic publications,
  • museum catalogues,
  • archaeological reports,
  • authoritative dictionaries,
  • peer-reviewed sources.

Websites may be included if reputable (museums, universities, cultural institutions).

Category Section

Articles must include:

Mandatory categories
  • a domain category such as [[Category:Ceramics]], [[Category:Metalwork]], etc.
  • one or more geographical categories (country, region, prefecture)
  • a historical period category when clearly applicable
Optional categories (when applicable)
  • period categories (e.g. [[Category:Edo period]])
  • [[Category:Religious objects]]
  • [[Category:Domestic objects]]
  • [[Category:Sword objects]]
  • technique or subfamily categories (e.g. [[Category:Porcelain]], [[Category:Stoneware]], [[Category:Bronze casting]])

Categories must follow the naming conventions defined in the Category System Specification.

Writing Tone and Style

  • Use a neutral, academic tone similar to museum catalog descriptions.
  • Avoid subjective adjectives (e.g., “beautiful,” “magnificent,” “stunning”).
  • Avoid speculative statements.
  • Prefer short, clear sentences.
  • Introduce Japanese, Chinese, or other local terms with transliteration on first use.

Example:

Correct

“The technique uses iron-rich clay sourced from the local river basin.”

Incorrect

“This amazing technique beautifully uses clay from the area.”

Terminology Rules

Craft Names

  • English name first
  • Local name second (script + transliteration)

Example: Imari ware (伊万里焼, Imari-yaki)

Transliteration

Follow ISO or widely accepted museum standards:

  • Japanese: Hepburn
  • Chinese: Hanyu Pinyin
  • Korean: Revised Romanization

Historical Periods

Always use standardized English period names:

  • Edo period
  • Meiji period
  • Ming dynasty
  • Joseon dynasty

Image Use and Caption Style

Captions must:

  • describe the object factually;
  • include century or approximate date;
  • include material and technique if known;
  • credit museums or sources when needed.

Example: “Porcelain bowl with underglaze blue decoration, Edo period (18th century). Arita ware. Image: Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 4.0.”

Common Errors to Avoid

  • mixing historical facts with modern interpretations;
  • using inconsistent transliteration;
  • overloading the introduction with details;
  • missing categories;
  • not citing sources;
  • using subjective or promotional language;
  • describing personal opinions.
