Article Naming

 * (contiguous numbering scheme - 1 to 99999).

Article Formatting

 * Still to be finalized.
 * BOT conversion of standard header template to custom pending as of 12/10/2009. ✅
 * All existing EOs using custom EO header ( see below ) as of July 2010.


 * Signature Images - Various images of the Presidents' handwritten signatures. Follow the linked images to existing Executive Orders from there for examples of use.

Templates

 *  &minus; Executive Order header template.
 * Takes the usual article header and customizes it for use with EO's specifically.
 * Inserts a citation bar before blue note field found in most of the standard header templates that is utilized just for the signing date and/or the page and date the EO was actually published in the Federal Register (can be overriden manually).
 * automatically figures out which President created the Executive Order just by inputing the EO# and then creates both an external link to a government listing to verify title, dates, citation info, etc. and an internal link to the Wikilist page of the EO's for that particular President (works from FDR to Obama Administrations} and places it in the new citation bar.
 * automatically adds the correct [ [Executive orders of { {Year} } ] ] category at the end based on signing date info given.


 * See the template's documentation for all available parameters/details.

Categorization

 * Final yet to be determined - the Potus-eo header template automatically adds the 2 basic ones covering authorship of type (Executive Order document) and year created.

Linking

 * Wikify important document names to link to the appropriate wikisource document by placing them in brackets, especially other executive order documents, even if currently redlinked.
