Let's wait until fall 2007 to plan this out.

What is a Debate Guide?

A Debate Guide sets out and if necessary explores opposing arguments in a subject cluster or any subtopics in the cluster. It may outline any difficulties in defining a topic or the scope of a topic. Debate Guides will most often be used for controversies, but they can be helpful in clearing up non-controversial ambiguity as well.

The length and complexity of a Debate Guide will depend on the subject. There may be only one page, or a listing of several pages, related pages or sub-subpages.

Purpose

The purpose of a CZ Debate Guide is to provide supplemental information to a cluster article, without disrupting the flow of the article. The body of articles should not attempt to list, spell out or explain all the aspects of controversies surrounding the topic or any subtopic, nor should there be exhaustive lists of opposing points of view and their proponents; these are handled in "Debate Guides".
