Guide

Rightspedia collects research on six fundamental rights. Each right is organised the same way: Right > Topic > Question > Breakout. A breakout is a country or a philosophical tradition, used for questions that are answered once per country or per tradition.

Rights pages

Each right has one page per topic (History, Legal Codification, Philosophical Origins and so on), reached from the menu bar at the top of the right. A topic page shows every answered question in that topic. Select a question heading or breakout name to open it on its own page.

Each right's History page has a timeline of the years mentioned in its answers. Select an item on the timeline to open the answer it comes from.

Explore pages

  • Pages by Country and Pages by Philosophy list every breakout answer, filterable by country or philosophy and by right.
  • Each country and philosophy also has its own page listing its answers across all rights.
  • Each question has a page comparing its answers across all rights, linked from the bottom of every answer.
  • Search looks through all answers.

Editing

This site is a static archive of the former Rightspedia wiki. Content lives as Markdown files in the project's Git repository, under site/content/sections/, one file per answer:

site/content/sections/<right>/<topic>/<question>.md, or .../<question>/<breakout>.md for breakouts.

The block at the top of each file says where the answer belongs (right, section, question, and breakout for country or philosophy answers). years lists the years shown on the History timeline. Below that block is the answer text: separate paragraphs with a blank line, and use *italic*, **bold** and [text](https://link) for formatting. Bare links are linked automatically.

To change content, edit the file and open a pull request. Turn on Show edit links at the bottom of any page to get an edit link beside every answer, and links to create answers that don't exist yet. The list of rights, topics, questions, countries and philosophies is in site/data/taxonomy.json.
