Wikivinaya:Distinguishing origins of rules

From Wikivinaya

When editing or adding to the WikiVinaya, an effort should be made not to mix the original 'Vinaya of the Buddha' with later interpretations, scriptures and practices. This may be done by dividing the articles up in different paragraphs, or splitting articles up in smaller articles, or maybe there are some other ideas also, for example the category-system. This page is for trying to get some feedback and ideas, and to reach some agreement or standard for the future.

Contributors to the WikiVinaya are encouraged to always include references to texts in order to avoid confusion about who said what, when. The purpose of this is to make it easy for readers to make the distinction between the words of the Buddha and the various opinions and interpretations which are of a later origin and of a commentarial nature. The references should be sufficiently clear so that they can be verified by those who choose to do so.
