WikiIndex:Proposals: Difference between revisions

* We make the actual new cateogies after x time or x wiki fall into that category, pre-launch.  [[User:MarkDilley|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: --[[User:Rathbone|Ray]] 17:04, 19 Jan 2006 (EST)

** Ray, what do you mean the "way we are adding new wikis is fine now" - I think it would be nice and clear to have a genderal agreement (guideline) that we are not filling out a category for one or two wiki. [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>

The good thing about this proposal is that it doesn't matter when we do it, if we do it, since it'll just be a change to the template that won't need anything done to each wiki. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:04, 21 Feb 2006 (EST)

I re-ordered this page to put newest at the bottom to encourge us to deal with the older ones first, and move them off this page.  Also, don't know if you know about this feature, but there is a + item next to the "edit" link at the top of talk pages.  That feature adds a new section, without having to edit the whole page.  Since that new section goes at the bottom, this re-organization allows that feature to be used on this page.

** Our work cannot be used on wikipedia and vice versa if we keep the nc.  In fact, if someone's got an nc in their own license, their stuff can't be used here at all either, because of our adwords. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 17:25, 23 Feb 2006 (EST)

Let's revist what we're doing in each pass and re-do this sheet. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 02:14, 19 Feb 2006 (EST)

The basic article template "Wiki List" is being used for Engine category pages.  Almost all engines have a wiki, for example, MoinMoin has MoinMoinWiki.  In this case, there is a page for the wiki ([[MoinMoinWiki]]) as well as a page for the engine category ([[:category:MoinMoin]]).  I believe this is correct.  In the case of Lizzy, there is just a single page for both the wiki and the engine: ([[:category:Lizzy]]).  This creates a recursive situation where the article points to itself.  I'm not sure this is a big problem, but now would be a good time for us to establish consistent rules.

: We already have one [[Template:Wiki Engine]].  It's not that simple, however.  I'm not sure I understand it myself, to be honest.  Mark? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:10, 21 Feb 2006 (EST)

Specifically I am thinking about WikiNodes that need to be created.  But as a theoretical issue, I think it helps people to understand the whole internet could be wiki.  [http://wikinodes.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.cgi/WikiBardo WikiBardo] is along these lines.
