 ====== Template for Metric ====== ====== Template for Metric ======
-The following is a draft for the template that all '​Metric Detail'​ pages can follow. +Page permanently moved to  
- +https://github.com/chaoss/metrics/blob/master/activity-metrics/​metric-template.md
-The template is inspired by the [[https://istheory.byu.edu/wiki/Signaling|IS Theories Wiki]]. +
- +
-===== Instructions ===== +
- +
-To create a new '​Metric Detail'​ page follow these steps: +
- +
-  - In the [[oss-health-metrics:​metrics|metrics list]], convert the name of a metric into a link +
-    - The link looks like this: ''​%%[[oss-health-metrics:​metrics:​name-of-metric|Name of Metric]]%%''​. +
-    - **Important:​** The namespace ''​oss-health-metrics:​metrics:''​ places the page in the right location of the wiki and has to be there.  +
-    - Before the verticle bar, the //Name of Metric// should be lower case and spaces replaced by hyphens. +
-  ​Copy the text below the horizontal bar into the new wiki page. +
-  - Remove explanations in all sections and leave sections empty if no information is available at the moment. +
-    - **Important:​** Do not delete a section heading because we want all '​Metric Detail'​ pages to be structured the same. +
-   +
