Editing Help:Adding Regulations

__NOTOC__
= Help: Adding Regulations =

This page outlines the standard formatting for adding new Title 49 regulations to the CVEO Wiki. All regulations must use the <nowiki>{{Violation}}</nowiki> template to ensure they appear correctly on the Master Dashboard and the Printer-Friendly Cheat Sheet.

== 1. Page Architecture ==
All regulations should be consolidated into their top-level section (e.g., <code>391.11</code> or <code>393.9</code>). Do not create new pages for sub-paragraphs; use the <code>&lt;tabber&gt;</code> architecture instead.

== 2. The Violation Template ==
Every subsection must be wrapped in a <nowiki>{{Violation}}</nowiki> template. Copy the block below and paste it into the appropriate tab.

<pre>
{{Violation
|Section = 
|Description = 
|OOS = 1
|ViolationCategory = Driver
|InspectionLevel = Level 3, Level 2, Level 1
|TypicalAction = Out of Service / Citation
|StateNotes = 
|ReferenceLinks = https://www.searchenginejournal.com/link-title-attribute/335415/
}}
</pre>

=== Field Guide: ===
* '''Section:''' The exact regulation code (e.g., 391.11(b)(2)).
* '''Description:''' A concise explanation of the violation.
* '''OOS:''' Enter <code>1</code> for Yes (triggers red alert), <code>0</code> for No.
* '''ViolationCategory:''' Use either <code>Driver</code> or <code>Vehicle</code>.
* '''InspectionLevel:''' (e.g., Level 3, Level 2, Level 1).
* '''TypicalAction:''' Standard enforcement action (e.g., Warning, Citation, OOS).
* '''StateNotes:''' Enforcement context specific to Illinois.
* '''ReferenceLinks:''' Use the format: <code>https://www.searchenginejournal.com/link-title-attribute/335415/</code>. (Note: Links are configured to automatically open in new tabs).

== 3. Regulatory Guidance & Memos ==
If you have a PDF memo, upload the file first, then anchor it at the bottom of the page using this tag:

<pre>
<span id="Guidance"></span>
== Regulatory Guidance & Memos ==
<pdf width="1000" height="600">File:Your_Filename_Here.pdf</pdf>
</pre>

== 4. Navigation ==
Always include the "Quick Jump" navigation bar at the top of the page so field units can instantly reach the guidance:

<pre>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #c8ccd1; margin-bottom: 15px;">
'''Quick Jump:''' [[#Guidance | Regulatory Guidance]] | [[#top | Return to Top]]
</div>
</pre>
