WikiIndex talk:Proposals

Proposal: 28-Jan-2006: Coding comments for more transparent clarity

• More transparent wiki conversation/work. We start to code our page work in the summary as much as possilbe, as to model transparent conversation on the recent changes page, for newbies, and really ourselves. I just think it will only help to do as much coding as possible :-) MarkDilley
  • I agree and will try to do this --Raymond King | talk 20:49, 17 Feb 2006 (EST)

Proposal: 29-Jan-2006: New categories production

• We make the actual new cateogies after x time or x wiki fall into that category, pre-launch. MarkDilley
  • Additional Categories. I found that if you add an additional category to a page (see CodeBook and AddYourOwn) you must also add the category command somewhere on the page so that it also categorized the article properly. I am concerned that this will be confusing to users, so for now, I am using this format to at least keep it all in one place: --Ray 17:04, 19 Jan 2006 (EST)
    • Ray, I know what you mean about the proper way to create new categories, but I'm not sure what you're saying about "this format." Can you clarify, please? TedErnst | talk 00:02, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)

Proposal: 13-Feb-2006: Authentic language categories

• see Category:Spanish discussion for more info/example.

Proposal: 14-Feb-2006: Structured data

• What would the definition be for StructuredData
  • I don't know what this is (and yes, I've read the page). TedErnst | talk 00:01, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)

Trying to clarify that because this site uses structured data, some things are done a little differently than other wiki. (wikipedia, meatball, etc). I think Structured Data is new to the wiki family, it is to me, so being clear about it will help.

I still don't understand. How is this different from Meatball or Wikipedia? TedErnst | talk 00:11, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)

Proposal: 17-Feb-2006: Tag and category use

• Tags would be used in the description field of the page, either inline or as a bulleted list, whatever the editor wishes, using the tag template.

example: http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=ArborWiki&action=edit&section=1

• Categories would be used as media wiki currently understands them for the footer grouping. They would be placed above the template code for two reasons:

1. cleaner for the site/newbies
2. put them infront of template categories in the footer section, to highlight them.

example: http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=ArborWiki&action=edit
