An instruction from MN139 Aranavibhanga sutta

Hi, just to let you know I’ve made a couple of changes to your post, i hope you don’t mind! I’m trying to set a standard for posts so that they will be discoverable in the long term.

Here are some general guidelines, not just for you.

When making a post on any specific sutta, try to include the ID of that sutta in the heading, in this case MN 139. You can also include the title or whatever, but titles are much harder to make discoverable. They vary from edition to edition, they are translated in different ways, and so on. But the ID is unique and is used all through SuttaCentral.

In addition, and this is more experimental, add the ID as a tag for the sutta. When making a post, the add tags dialogue is below the text-editing area. I am not even sure if ordinary users can add tags yet, but we will be rolling this out.

Finally, I’ve recategorized this under Q&A.

If I get time this morning, I might even have a go at answering the question!
