Appropedia:Featured

This page lists the best pages on Appropedia. Featured pages go through a review process and when finished, are translated to several languages.

To have your own page reviewed and translated, first make sure it meets the requirements, then add it to the waiting list and we'll contact you!

Reviewed[edit | edit source]

Featured pages should:

Have a lead section
Have a main image
Have {{Page data}} and any other appropriate databox
Be complete, clear and concise
Be normalized
Don't have any notices such as {{Merge}} or {{References needed}}
Have a "See also" section and an "External links" section
Be stable, since translations won't update automatically when you do changes to the original page
Avoid unnecessary templates by using plain text and core elements instead, because the translation script can't translate template content

Incomplete construction instructions. Turn them into a guide? Remove them? Just leave them?

Literature review subsections could be moved to external links.
Inline links to rocket stove projects on Appropedia should be added. PedroK (PedroK) 12:06, 12 July 2022 (UTC+2)
A literature review was suggested PedroK (PedroK) 12:50, 12 July 2022 (UTC+2) The only literature reviews I've found on rocket stoves are CCAT rocket mass cobb bench heater#Literature review and Rocket stove biomass charcoal#Literature review and they are too specific to the type of device being build in that particular project.

In-depth normalization. Sophivorus (talk) 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Instance-of parameter should be modified. Could be changed to "Solar powered device" or "Solar powered home appliance". Changed to "Photovoltaic device" to distinguish from thermal solar devices. Sophivorus (talk) 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Related projects missing. Done but there may be a couple more devices to add. Sophivorus (talk) 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why this page? It gets weekly organic traffic according to Google, Ahrefs and Hotjar. The only problem I find is that it presents itself in its lead and images as a project, but it is in fact a topic page about urban gardening and specifically hydroponic vertical gardens. Also, towards the end it supports a questionable dialectic between scientific and non-scientific approaches. Other than that it is a good page that brings us weekly organic traffic.

Images could be all put together in a "Gallery" section
Caption should be added to images.

Why this page? It gets organic traffic and direct traffic from homepage.

Should solar menu be only on top?

It's a bit too long for the current translate script. Can it be shortened?
Constant use of PV and LCA abbreviations may confuse the script. Replace for non-abbreviated terms?
