Understanding the overall structure and key components of an S&I Framework Initiative Wiki will help you in creating a new initiative wiki, retro-fitting an existing initiative wiki, and maintaining your initiative wiki going forward. The Sample Initiative demonstrates the correct usage and customization of initiative wiki templates and accurate display of the S&I Framework Wiki look and feel.====== toc =Core Initiative Wiki Pages= Content within each initiative wiki should be structured according to five standardized core categories: Initiative Home, Join the Initiative, Charter & Members, S&I Phases, and Materials. Two of these content categories, S&I Phases and Materials, utilize standardized secondary categories. Each core and secondary category uses the accompanying standardized core pages and templates.


 * ~ Page Name ||~ Description ||~ Uses Template ||
 * **Initiative Home** || The central page for the initiative that provides members and non-members with a short intro, announcements, a road-map, and more. || tpl_initiative_home ||
 * **Join the Initiative** || Provides stakeholders and non-stakeholders with the tools and materials on how to get involved with the initiative || tpl_initiative_join ||
 * **Charter & Members** || Provides members with a more detailed outline of the initiative's charter, challenge, timeline, and more. || tpl_initiative_chartermembers ||
 * **S&I Phases** || The main working area for initiative workgroups with information organized according to S&I Framework phases. || tpl_initiative_phases ||
 * **S&I Phases > Charter (Pre-Discovery)** || Secondary category within S&I Phases. || tpl_initiative_phases_charter ||
 * **S&I Phases > Use Cases (Discovery)** || Secondary category within S&I Phases. || tpl_initiative_phases_usecases ||
 * **S&I Phases > Harmonization and Standards (Implementation)** || Secondary category within S&I Phases. || tpl_initiative_phases_hands ||
 * **S&I Phases > Pilots** || Secondary category within S&I Phases. || tpl_initiative_phases_pilots ||
 * **S&I Phases > Evaluation** || Secondary category within S&I Phases. || tpl_initiative_phases_eval ||
 * **Materials** || A deposit of finalized, consensus-approved and/or published initiative information (e.g. use cases, standards, publications, etc.), as well as meeting artifacts (e.g. agendas, notes, presentations, etc.). || tpl_initiative_materials ||
 * **Materials > Meeting Artifacts** || Secondary category within Materials. || tpl_initiative_materials_meetings ||
 * **Materials > Use Cases** || Secondary category within Materials. || tpl_initiative_materials_usecases ||
 * **Materials > Harmonization and Standards** || Secondary category within Materials. || tpl_initiative_materials_hands ||
 * **Materials > Pilots** || Secondary category within Materials. || tpl_initiative_materials_pilots ||
 * **Materials > Evaluation** || Secondary category within Materials. || tpl_initiative_materials_eval ||

=Anatomy of an Initiative Wiki Page= Aside from the actual content, all pages within each initiative wiki require four embedded pages, three of which you must create specifically for your initiative.


 * ~ Page Name ||~ Description ||~ Uses Template ||
 * **Initiative SidebarRight** || You will need to create an initiative-specific SidebarRight page to be included on initiative pages. Your //Initiative SidebarRight// displays in a third column down the right side of the page and contains content related to your initiative. You may create more than one SidebarRight for your initiative, such as //YourInitiative SidebarRight Workgroups// with content specific to all Workgroup-related pages in your initiative wiki. || tpl_initiative_sbrt ||
 * **Initiative PageTabs** || You will need to create your initiative-specific PageTabs page to be included on all, which displays along the top of every page in your initiative wiki and provides the main navigation through your initiative wiki. Do not create more than one //Initiative PageTabs// page. || tpl_initiative_pagetabs ||
 * **Initiative Header** || You will need to created your initiative-specific Header which is used to embed //YourInitiative SidebarRight//, //inc_contentleft_initiative_begin//, and //YourInitiative PageTabs//. //YourInitiative Header// is helpful as it minimizes the number of includes on each page in your initiative's wiki thereby simplifying page creation and updates. || tpl_initiative_header ||
 * **inc_contentleft_initiative_begin** || A pre-existing theme page embedded in all initiative wiki pages, with the exception of //YourInitiative Home// page. The code within //inc_contentleft_initiative_begin// starts the main content area of all initiative wiki pages and contains style classes to enable the proper display of all initiative wiki pages || inc_contentleft_initiative_begin ||
 * **inc_contentLeft_initiativehome_begin** || A pre-existing theme page embedded only on //YourInitiative Home// page. The code within //inc_contentleft_initiativehome_begin// starts the main content area on //YourInitiative Home// page and contains style classes to enable content on //YourInitiative Home// to display differently from all other initiative pages. || inc_contentLeft_initiativehome_begin ||
 * **inc_contentleft_end** || A pre-existing theme page embedded at the very bottom of all initiative pages, including //YourInitiative Home// page. The code within //inc_contentleft_end// displays a link "Back to Top" and closes the main content area of your initiative wiki page. || inc_contentleft_end ||

The following screenshots highlight the required embedded pages for each initiative wiki page.
