Disasters Project | Industrial Disasters Team | Creating an Industrial Disaster Free Space Page
Please note: Before creating a new Industrial Disaster Free Space Page, please ensure that you have joined the Disasters Project and been added to the Industrial Disasters Team for your disaster type. If you have any questions about this, please contact TBA. Thank you.
- 1. Check to see if a Free Space Page already exists for your disaster. You can do this by looking in the relevant category type (be sure to check the sub-categories under each type of disaster):
- Dam Disasters Category
- Explosions Category
- Fires Category
- Industrial Disasters Category
- See How to Categorise Disasters for details on our category structure.
- 2. If there is no current Free Space Page for your disaster, you can create a new one using the following naming standard: [PlaceName] [Disaster] [Year]. Please do not include any commas in your name as this creates problems later on. See Levant Tin Mine Disaster 1919 as an example.
- 3. At the top of the FSP, enter the category. Using our example, this would be Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919.
- 4. Under the category, put in the navigation links:
- Link to disasters project | Link to industrial disasters page | link to disasters team page | Name of your page without link
- 5. Ultimately, what comes next will be a fully-sourced article on the disaster itself, complete with in-line referencing. Until you have time to do this, please include the basic information about the disaster as follows:
Summary
- Date: 20 October 1919
- Location: Levant Tin Mine, Pendeen, Cornwall, England
- Victims: 31 casualties, 16 injured
- Cause: Man-winding engine failure
- 6. Underneath this is your temporary sandbox where you can put the table of casualties as you work through them. This table is temporary, and can be removed once you have finished your work and the casualties have all been categorised. Here is a blank table, using the project's colours, for you to use:
