I broke out the Technical Documents subsection and made it its own category. The Wikipedia article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_writing technical writing] lists out the types of technical documents. I think it's a great way to expand on the piece. Feel free to add definitions or more subcategories. --[[User:Debbiebwolfe|Debbiebwolfe]] ([[User talk:Debbiebwolfe|talk]]) 10:06, 20 November 2023 (EST)

:{{Reply to|Debbiebwolfe}}Thank you for adding this list. I'm working on the definitions too. I also added an entry for Documentation and moved "Instructions and Procedures" under it so all forms of documentation are under one entry. I think this makes sense, but see what you think. --[[User:Beth Kennedy|Beth Kennedy]] ([[User talk:Beth Kennedy|talk]]) 15:09, 20 November 2023 (EST)

:{{Reply to|Beth Kennedy}}  I think it makes perfect sense! I just threw categories in to get it started and have already changed them around as I research. I am thinking of adding a separate "tools" section to mimic what is on the Wikipedia entry. Thoughts?

::{{Reply to|Debbiebwolfe}}I think adding "tools" is a good idea, but I wonder if it would be good to have them under the current "Digital Technologies and Technical Writing" section? The list would help to expand this section and would reinforce the digital connection. Just a thought.--[[User:Beth Kennedy|Beth Kennedy]] ([[User talk:Beth Kennedy|talk]]) 10:04, 21 November 2023 (EST)

::{{Reply to|Debbiebwolfe}}:{{Reply to|Beth Kennedy}} I added a section "Outline for Article" at the end of the discussion page with some ideas on an updated outline if you'd like to review.
