WikiIndex talk:Namespace conventions: Difference between revisions

:We're not using the random page thing at this point, so I'd saw we should ignore that as an argument for namespaces.  My present feeling on this is the meta pages should use WikiIndex:Foo because they are internal documents of, by, and for [[editor]]s of this wiki.  External documents are anything we think the average reader should be seeing.  As described above, so far we have [[:Category:All|all wikis]], [[:Category:Wiki People|Wiki People]], and ArticlesAboutWikiSphere in that category.  If you'd like to also have the meta pages there, obviously you can.  And since that's simpler, maybe it's even better that way.  We know [[template]] and [[category]] are useful namespaces because they have different functionality.  [[WikiIndex:Talk Pages for Wiki People|User talk]] is useful because of the notification feature.  Those are all of the namespace-related functions that I know of.  If your requirement is functionality, then I see no reason at all to use the [[:Category:WikiIndex|WikiIndex: namespace]].  I can't really come up with anything convincing to say why we should use it for meta conversations, but I still think we should.  I will not pout if it's decide otherwise. :-) [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 15:50, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)
