Verdict is an assessment whether the statement is factual, false or questionable.

  • Verdict Title (1) is a mandatory field. It is advisable to lay down the rules of verdict variations (TRUE, PARTIALLY TRUE, FALSE, MOSTLY FALSE) to avoid later confusion for the readers. Nevertheless it is editorial decision – to be established by users.
  • Short Verdict Description (2) is optional. Most often will be used when the verdict is not clear. It will appear below the Verdict Title.
  • Verdict Icon (3) has several options for the shapes and colors. Those two are NOT mutually dependent, so there is a possibility to create various icons. Also in this case unifying icons is recommended.
  • Verdict Introduction will display on front end (content page). For some content types the display is optional (marked by a check box).
  • Verdict Content (4) will appear as a developed explanation of the statement verdict. It will be in most cases simple text with links. It is created the same way as a regular article in CKEditor.
