Mark's calling these folksonomy categories.  Is their use written down anywhere?  I don't see the need to make them display on the page since they display when viewing the article anyway.  Maybe this needs documentation? [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 17:18, 19 Jan 2006 (EST)

Hi Raymond, thanks for helping out with the categories on the [[PattayaWiki]] entry I initiated.  I am new to Wikis and wasn't quite sure how to place it.  I initially created loads of category tags which I now realize was a mistake, Harry Wood cleared them up and I have also written to him via his User Talk page.

The main guy behind the Pattaya Wiki is Pete who has been running the PattayaTalk.com forum for about a decade - it's an excellent forum with a lot of knowledgeable regulars.  I suggested a wiki because I noticed how a lot of excellent contributions were submerging over time and the same questions were being asked again and again; veteran users were becoming antagonistic towards newbies who apparently didn't know how to use the search feature.  I had never run a wiki but am a heavy Wikipedia user and am convinced that, if we can dig out all the wisdom that has been shared over the years in forum and refashion it for the wiki, it will be an extremely useful resource.

I believe that the subject matter is legitimate and, as more and more people relocate or retire to Thailand, it is important that they be informed not only of the highlights but also the pitfalls.

Asked John this:  I am toying with the mark-up for wikinodes that are not there and TedErnst asked me a good question.  Can we currently sort on a no for URL_wikinode?  Meaning if we do what I am thinking about (e.g. [[The league of scarybirds]] with the - WikiNode) does that damage being able to find those?

That's a really good idea, but I'm just not sure of the implementation given that we'd normally categorize that field and if we did so, then we'd have tons of category entries for the articles that in fact have wikinodes.  It would seem that there should be some solution tho. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 20:57, 25 Feb 2006 (EST)
