Overviews — like the ''Main page'' — provide for quick information about and navigation–aids through a thematically coherent section.

			=== News articles ===

			News articles are built in a way that enables ''InfoVis–Wiki'' to deliver them as newsfeeds vie RSS. They have to belong to the News–Category and their title should deliver the respective headline therefore. Recent articles are linked in the news listing on the [[Main Page]] using the form ''Date: Article–Title''. A pictogramme can be added right hand side.

			Remember not to add ordinary lines to the news listing; only links can be added: ''InfoVis–Wiki'' won't feed the listing but the respective article titles.
