:: 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) | |||
:: Ah, I see what you're getting at. The tag template is not required. If it doesn't work well in German, than feel free to just use the standard Mediawiki category function. If some more explanation needs to be written, okay, we can do that. Tags are fully optional, as are categories, for that matter. At least that's how I see it. What about you?
