	:: I disagree. Redlink categories are just fine, because they're tags. Like tags at del.icio.us - we decided on purpose here not to impose a hierarchical category structure - of course one might emerge, but there's no reason to enforce any kind of scheme at this point - I'd guess at least half our wikis don't have categories at all - that would be really useful work, tagging everything - then if some semblance of structure emerges from that, great! The idea is to be bottom-up. [[TedErnst]] \| <small>[[User talk:TedErnst\|talk]]</small> 20:46, 27 October 2006 (EDT)		:: I disagree. Redlink categories are just fine, because they're tags.

			::: I fully agree with your '''buttom-up''' point of view, but I began using the MediaWiki software with German contents, there you have much extra typing with the more complicated grammar (the same as in Russin, French etc.) therefor I type often things like <tt><nowiki>"des [[Deutscher Bundestag\|Deutschen Bundestages]]"</nowiki></tt> in such cases the tags would lead to grammaticvally malformed sentences or eccentric word orders (how can [[WikiIndex]] be (or become) [[:category:Multilingual\|Multilingual]] with such english-only tags)... a parameterized "Tag" tag, on the other hand, would be more complicated than the original WikiMedia-style category tags. With the '''red links''' ''I'' have absolutely no problem, but the visitor of WikiIndex, who wants to find a wiki in his/her language, needs some topic help. --[[Wolf Peuker\|Peu]] \| <small>[[User talk:Peu\|talk]]</small> 07:42, 28 October 2006 (EDT)
