Trådartiklar

Trådartiklar is a term used in Swedish-language digital media to describe individual articles that form part of a threaded discussion or topic chain. Each trådartikel contributes a distinct angle, update, or piece of information within the larger thread, and together they cover the overall topic.

Etymology: The word combines tråd (thread) and artikel (article). The concept is common in forums, live blogs, and collaborative wikis that organize content as a sequence of linked posts rather than a single, standalone piece.

Structure and style: A trådartikel typically has a title, author, date, and content body. It may include citations, media, and cross-links to earlier or later trådartiklar in the same thread. The writing aims for clarity and continuity with other entries, allowing readers to follow the topic progression thread by thread.

Usage and examples: In a project wiki, trådartiklar can document different stages of a task, such as planning, execution, and evaluation, each as a separate article within the thread. In a live news or community site, updates in a running event coverage may be published as trådartiklar.

Relation to related concepts: Trådartiklar are closely related to live blogs, series posts, and threaded discussions. The main distinction is their organization as modular articles linked within a single topic thread rather than a single continuous post.
