Help for making and editing book-pages in the Sannyas Wiki

Book page-names

Book page-names follow the title on the book as much as possible, so including semicolons, commas, brackets etc.

Don't Let Yourself Be Upset by the Sutra, rather Upset the Sutra Yourself
Won't You Join the Dance?

Misspellings in book titles or sub-titles are left as they are, this can be commented on in the book-notes.

Books with different names always get a new entry:

A Compilation on Osho Dynamic Meditation
A Compendium on Osho Dynamic Meditation
Books with more than one volume
Sufis: The People of the Path, Vol 1

So "Volume" in the title is on the wiki page shown as "Vol".

But if "volume" is not used, the designation follows the book: Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, First Series, Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, Second Series.

Identical titles
The first one And Now, And Here
Second one And Now, And Here (2)

So: add a number (2) between brackets after the name.

Capitalization

For all titles of books (and music etc) we use a standard system of capitalization:

Capitalization of the first word, and all other words, except for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions.

Please see this Wikipedia article: Letter case: Case styles, the second line of the Example-table.

Capitalization is also important as page-names are case sensitive.

Number of pages

The number of pages is either:

  • The last page-number printed in the book,
  • OR if the "main content" of the book (not About the author etc.) runs beyond the last page number, then count from the highest page-number printed to the last page of main content.


The page set-up : Templates for Osho books

All Osho book-pages are formatted via two templates. The main template is Template:Book. Within this book template, for each edition there can be a Template:Bookedition.

Fields in templates are separated by a |.

In the explanation below, fixed text in templates is bold.


wikitext notes
{{ book | The name of the template
description = A description of the book | E.g. from the flap text, or a typical text from the book, like one of the first sentences from Osho.
When using a second sentence, start with a colon for right indentation.
translated = Hindi: [[Hindi title ]] | E.g. translated from some Hindi book in the wiki
notes = General notes on this book | E.g. Earlier published as ...
Chapters 9-15 later published in Sufis: The People of the Path : The Royal Way.
Discourses given at Mt Abu, Rajastan, India (* Locations Pune or Rajneeshpuram need no mentioning)
period = Oct 21, 1975 to Oct 30, 1975 | The date of the first and last discourse/letter, with a link to the year of the first discourse.
year = 1975 | This will render the wiki-code : [[Osho_Discourses_1975|discourse details]] |
If no year=xxxx| is found, the template will render : [[Osho_Discourses_ |discourse details]] |
nofd = 21| The number of chapters, as shown in the table of contents, so usually excluding an introduction.
editions = Here the sub-templates for editions start. There can be as many as needed.
{{bookedition| cover.jpg | subtitle | year | publisher | edition no | isbn | pages | H/P | edition notes }}

{{bookedition| cover.jpg | subtitle | year | publisher | edition no | isbn | pages | H/P | edition notes }}
|

language = English | This field can only contain the language. It takes care of categories in the footer.
}} Here, the book-template ends.
[[category:Darshan Diaries]] Category of the book, like [[category:Responses to Questions]] [[category:World Tour]]
See below for an explanation of categories and wiki-lists.

A book can get as many editions as needed. An edition is entered separately if

  • it is another edition in its strict sense: different content as regards text or illustrations or lay-out
  • or it has a different ISBN
  • or it has a different cover

A book can be included in an existing edition if it is only a new imprint, and no further changes in content. In that case field "Year of publication" gets a second line, containing e.g. "::Reprint: 1982".

These situations are shown e.g. in The Supreme Doctrine.

Use of the bookedition:

wikitext notes
{{ bookedition | The title of the book is automatically generated from the title of the wiki-page.
cover.jpg | Use 100dpi scans, except when there is small print, then you can use 200dpi.
subtitle | The subtitle from the cover or the title-page in the book

When book and cover have different subtitles, use e.g.:
" Discourses on Sufism''' (cover)<br>'''Talks on Sufi Stories''' (book) "
as in Just Like That.

year of publication | 1980
Reprint : 1982
publisher | Publisher, city, country.
edition number | 1
isbn | ISBN-10 or ISBN-13, as used in the book. Many Poona1 books have no printed ISBN, sometimes the ISBN is stickered on. Then add (Not all books have an ISBN).
number of pages | Either the number of the last numbered page in the book, or -if page numbering stops before the unique content of the book stops- count the extra content pages.
H or P | H for Hardcover, P for Paperback, ? for unknown
edition notes So not book notes.

First is always notes from the book about the edition, like "First edition, August 1980, 5,000 copies."
Next "Published by ...". Starting here, notes are on a new line and begin with a double colon :: for indentation.
Next are the authors of the Introduction and of the Flap text, if mentioned in the book.
Lastly all the sannyasins that worked on the book and are mentioned: Editing, Commentary, Direction, Design, Photography etc.
They can be mentioned in the order stated in the book. Use brackets ... to make them clickable.

}} Here, the bookedition-template ends.

Many book-pages started their life without the template-system. They will all be converted to the new system.

Example

Below is a book page with many examples for content. Edit this section to check how to enter these examples.

(By the way: "language =" and "category" are not included here).

The page set-up : Templates for Sannyas books

Then there is the bibliography of books by sannyasins. These books have their own main template: Template:Sanbook. Within this sanbook template, for each edition there can be a Template:Bookedition, which is the same as for Osho books.

wikitext notes
{{ sanbook | The title of the book is automatically generated from the title of the wiki-page.
description = A description of the book | E.g. from the flap text, or a typical text from the book, like one of the first sentences from Osho.
When using a second sentence, start with a colon for right indentation.

language = English | This field can only contain the language. It also takes care of the language category in the footer.
notes = General notes on this book | E.g. Translated from some English book in the wiki.
editions = Here the sub-templates for editions start. There can be as many as needed.
{{bookedition| cover.jpg | subtitle | year | publisher | edition no | isbn | pages | H/P | edition notes }}

{{bookedition| cover.jpg | subtitle | year | publisher | edition no | isbn | pages | H/P | edition notes }}
|

}} Here, the sanbook-template ends.
[[category:Books on Osho]] Category of the book, like [[category:Gift and photo books‎]] [[category:Newspapers and magazines‎]]
See below for an explanation of categories and wiki-lists.

Categories and wiki-lists

The special Category-fields that are added at the bottom of wiki-pages are used to give context to the page and put the pages on the right lists, like the Category:English Publications or .

Examples:

wikitext notes
[[category:Darshan Diaries]] For English Darshan Diaries
[[category:Darshan Diaries (de:Darshan Tagebücher)]] For German Daarshan Diaries
[[category:Meditation (books)]] For English books on Meditation (there is also a topics-pages on meditation, that's why the (books) qualifier)
[[category:Meditation (fr:Méditation)‎]] For French books on Meditation
[[category:Yoga (books)]]

You will find all the categories for a language in the header of it's Bibliography page, like for English or Hindi or Bulgarian.

By the way, the Bibliography is under construction. Pages like these: Category:English Publications are the new set-up. The new-style book pages (with the templates as explained above) refer there.

Before the template system there were old handcrafted bibliographies, e.g. German Publications to be converted.... These are being phased out.

Remarks on special categories
wikitext notes
[[category:First Edition Series]] For books where Osho's original English words were first published in English.
[[category:First Edition Series (hi:प्रथम संस्करण सीरीज)]] For books where Osho's original Hindi words were first published in Hindi.
[[category:Translated First Editions‎]] For books where a Hindi first edition is translated into English.

The English book can be a first or later edition, as long as the translation is based on the first Hindi edition.
A special case is Towards the Unknown which has not been published in Hindi, but the Hindi material does have a name and a known translator.
If an English book has both material from a first Hindi edition translated to English, and a first publication of original English words, it gets both [[Translated First Editions‎]] and [[category:First Edition Series]].

[[category:Translated to English (अंग्रेजी में अनूदित)]] and

[[category:Not Translated to English (अंग्रेजी में अनूदित नहीं)]]

Two categories used exclusively for First Edition Hindi books. This allows us to easily see which Hindi books have and have not (yet) been translated.

The categories above are for books by Osho. The books by sannyasins are in the Sannyas Bibliography. This contains categories like category:Gift and Photo Bo oks‎ and category:Newspapers and Magazines‎‎.

[[category:Books on Osho‎]] is a special case, as this is also used for Osho's own books: Glimpses of a Golden Childhood.


Auto-linking fields

The book and edition templates have some fields that will automatically generate clickable links.

In the book template notes
| year = 1975 | This will render the wiki-code "[[Osho_Discourses_1975|discourse details]]"

If the year is empty, the template will render "[[Osho_Discourses_ |discourse details]]"

In the bookedit template
| publisher = Rajneesh Foundation, Poona, India | This will render the wiki-code "[[Rajneesh Foundation, Poona, India]]"

If the publisher field is empty, the template will just render a set of empty square brackets [[ ]].
Please enter in publisher the name as found in the book. If this name is not one of the publishers listed in category:Books - Publication & Retail, you need to create a REDIRECT page.

| ISBN = 0-88050-138-3 | This will render the wiki-code "[[:Special:BookSources/0880501383]]"

If the ISBN field is empty, the template will render nothing.
The resulting Book sources page will show a set of links to external websites with further details about this edition.


Other Guidelines

Pune / Poona and Mumbai / Bombay

Many Indian cities have changed their names since 1947. Most such changes will have little impact in the Sannyas Wiki, but these two cities have a special resonance in the hearts of Osho's people, and a potential conundrum arises regarding how to represent them here. Standard bibliographical practice is to use the name current at the time of publication if the location of the publisher is mentioned; thus, a 1993 Rebel edition might mention Poona and a 1996 one Pune. Mumbai and Pune both changed around 1995. Most of Osho's discourses were given in Bombay and Poona, but these old names are associated with the old colonial empire-wallahs and as they drift further into the past, they may also become irrelevant, annoying or confusing.

To deal with all this, the wiki has evolved a not-entirely consistent approach which aims above all to be accessible and relevant, and so it is basically context-dependent:

  • For publisher locations, quotes, institutional and other proper names, the name as it was at the time shall be used.
  • In text about books or talks, the modern names shall be used.
  • In the Osho Timeline pages, both shall be used, as Pune (Poona) and Mumbai (Bombay).
