The following is a draft for the template that all 'Metric Detail' pages can follow.

The template is inspired by the IS Theories Wiki.

To create a new 'Metric Detail' page follow these steps:

1. In the metrics list, convert the name of a metric into a link
   1. The link looks like this: [[oss-health-metrics:metrics:name-of-metric|Name of Metric]].
   2. Important: The namespace oss-health-metrics:metrics: places the page in the right location of the wiki and has to be there.
   3. Before the verticle bar, the Name of Metric should be lower case and spaces replaced by hyphens.
2. Copy the text below the horizontal bar into the new wiki page.
3. Remove explanations in all sections and leave sections empty if no information is available at the moment.
   1. Important: Do not delete a section heading because we want all 'Metric Detail' pages to be structured the same.

The metric might be known by a short name or acronym.

Some metrics might be known by different names, e.g. bus factor and truck factor.

Classifications might include: Community/Code/Risk, or Activity/Viability/Risk, or generic/composite metric

A description of what the metric is and what it captures.

Include a sample visualization (screenshot) of the metric

Provide examples of how the metric might inform different stakeholders.

Examples of where and how metric is used. (include links to dashboard or location where metric is visible or is talked about having been used).

The orginal data source or other metric this one is building on.

A generic calculation (code) or SQL query that generates the metric.

Describe how the metric is encoded for sharing and communicating between programs.

Papers released in the academic literature that uses the metric.

Links to websites that add value to the understanding of the metric.

Authors of the metric page and authors who made significant changes.
