- Wiki people pages go in the main article space per John's comment.
- We kind of hope that WikiIndex will be more than a list of Wikis. Initially we have added Wiki People as the second major dataset. As we have done in ICANNWiki, we hope to be able to put names to faces and build a more connected and less isolated community of people who consider themselves wiki people. We hope to really kick this off at the RecentChangesCamp in Feb. To answer your question directly we would like to keep all of these major datasets in the main namespace to facilitate crosslinking of the datasets. In the case of the user namespace we don't want to limit Wiki People to users and we don't want them to have to use the namespace prefix when crosslinking. John Stanton 12:26, 19 Jan 2006 (EST)
- What else goes here?
- Are we using the Random Page feature? If not, never mind. If so, then I believe it searches only in the main namespace, so if we want people to be able to find random wikis only, not random users or meta conversations, let's take this into account.
- I think Random pages are not an important issue to us right now. John Stanton 12:26, 19 Jan 2006 (EST)
- And even if Random pages feature is used, Wiki People would be pages you want to be found this way, so that works as well. TedErnst
