Editing Talk:Guidelines:Course Pages

== Leads ==
It might be a bit restricting to enforce the leading sentence with the "[Course Number] covers..." syntax. These below all seem fine to me, for example:

'''CS 4472/6470 - Design of Online Communities''' is a 3-credit hour course that seeks to explore the nature of online interactions, understand the structure of communities online, and provide a survey of research topics within the field.
'''
CS 3451 - Computer Graphics''' is a 3-credit hour course that introduces students to fundamental concepts in digital image generation and manipulation.
'''
CS 4460''', formally known as '''Introduction to Information Visualization''' or Infovis for short, is a 3-credit hour Computer Science course about data visualization and interactivity.

Agreed, I have a more lenient course template here: [[Course_Template]]

I also think we should encourage longer leads, maybe up to a few paragraphs until info needs to be put in subsections. Having only a few sentences looks empty, especially followed by the Table of Contents (and sometimes long topic lists) which makes it look like too much whitespace.
