nisjesider

Nisjesider is a term used in some Norwegian-language wikis to refer to pages that cover niche topics with a specialized scope. The word combines nisje, meaning niche, with sider, meaning pages. In practice, nisjesider are intended to fill content gaps that broad articles do not address, providing focused information for a specific audience.

Characteristically, nisjesider are concise, heavily sourced, and clearly delimited in scope. They often rely on expert sources or primary materials, and they include cross-links to related articles to situate the topic within the site's broader knowledge base. They may employ caution about not expanding into unrelated areas and avoid duplication of content found in main articles.

Creation and maintenance: Editors discussing nisjesider typically agree on a narrowly defined scope, identify reliable sources, and set expectations for updates as new information becomes available. Because topics are specialized, nisjesider can become outdated if not regularly reviewed.

Examples: topics might include a rare knitting technique, a local dialect word, a little-known historical event in a specific region, or a specific species within a genus that is not widely covered elsewhere on the site.

Relationship to other wiki practices: Nisjesider complements broad overview articles and indexes by enabling depth on specific topics; they may be linked from category pages or topic hubs.
