+[[MarkDilley]] is trying to figure out how this recursive nature of wiki will be best utilized.  So far this [[CategoryWiki]] along with [[PhpWiki]] are examples of an idea I am trying to groke.
+Go here for a clean page of [[Wikicities]], or rather follow the redirect twice to get back to this page to see what I want to happen, and it should say "Wikis" instead of articles.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
+* So here's another place where namespaces are useful, or could be.  I believe you want everything that's currently in the main namespace to be a wiki, correct?  So this page, [[RecursiveNatureOfWiki]], really doesn't belong here.  I'm not sure what you're getting at with the concept, but I think it goes in the WikiIndex namespace ([[WikiIndex: RecursiveNatureOfWiki]]).  Mind if I move it?  Or you can.  Just use the move link above.

+Actually I do mind that you move it, because it is what I mean.  ;-)  The idea is that I want the MediaWiki wiki to be at the top of Category MediaWiki, so that all the other media wikis are below it.  does that make sense?  [[John Stanton]] knows what I am trying to get at, and he is thinking of it from a programmers percpective.  John, can you add anything?
+: Sure, I won't move it.  I don't understand why the pagename and namespace are so important to you.  No worries.  Here's a wikipedia category for Chicago Transit Authority.  There's also an article for Chicago Transit Authority, linked right from the top.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Chicago_Transit_Authority  Is this at all related to what you're talking about?  [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 13:42, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)
+We might need to talk about it, or me show you an example.  What I want is [[Wikicities]] to be a page name '''and''' a category, because it is both.  The wiki '''Wikicities''' at the top and a category list at the bottom of all the wikis using that engine. [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]
+: Interesting idea.  A simpler way to accomplish this, not nearly as slick visually but also not requiring any programing would be to have Wikicities be a disambiguation page with two links, one to the Wikicities wiki page and the oter to category wikicities.  We could impliment that immediately without bothing John for code.  It doesn't give you what you want, but maybe it's in the right direction?

+On Namespace of course we want wiki's as the main types of articles, but if there's another article (like this one for example) that's in the main namespace, so long as it doesn't collide with a wiki, it think it's fine because it won't junk up the categories if we don't categorize it to anything.  Am I missing something? --[[User:Rathbone|Ray]] 00:01, 23 Jan 2006 (EST)
