Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.
We should probably discuss article types, which may have different parameters. Example types might be:
Texts
Articles on texts should include:
Text's title. Should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
Authorship, if known. If the supposed authorship of a text is not established by scholarship, list it as an attribution: "The text is attributed to such-and-such." Name or names of the author should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
Date
Place of origin (if known); should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
