< User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson

So let's say you've got an article 100% in scope, and are ready to make it, but have no idea on what the content should remotely look like even after reading Consumer Rights Wiki:Write your first article!. This should hopefully give you some pointers on how articles should look.

Lead section

edit

Summarizes the subject of the article/product (line)/incident. Can be similar to Background section, but they cannot be duplicated (background should go into more detail).

Background (used in Incidents)

edit

Basically just the story behind the product/company talked about.

Consumer Impact Summary (used in Companies/Product (lines))

edit

Summary of some key points. Example:

  • User Privacy: They sell consumers data to third parties.
  • User Freedom: Consumers have to connect to an app, offering limited functionality.

Incidents

edit

Most important part. Talk about the issues. Link to the main article about it with the main template (type {{ where you want the template in VisualEditor, and type Main in the box that comes up, or type {{Main}} in the source editor.) Example:

Forced arbitration (2022 - present)

edit
Main article: Example

Lately, forced arbitration has been added to the service, making people unable to sue the company.
