Reference Template

How to contribute a reference page to the Guardian docs

Reference Template Use for: complete specifications of a thing — schema fields, API parameters, status values, configuration options. Reference pages are scannable, not narrative. If an explanation starts to grow into more than a sentence or two, it belongs in a concept page instead. Link to the concept page from the Related section.

Reference Page Title Name the thing being specified — e.g. "Policy schema properties", "Token configuration fields", "Block completion event payload"


One sentence. What this is and where it is used.

Notes

Anything that does not fit the tables but affects how this is used. Keep brief. If a note expands into a fuller explanation, it belongs in the concept page instead.

  • Concept: what this is for

  • Task: how to use this

  • Reference: related spec
