::: Hi, | |||
::: That's a lot to discuss! Just a few quick preliminary comments: | |||
:::;I see that categories are used as tags, that is, they're combined so that by looking at an article categories one has an idea of what it talks about. | |||
:::: Not sure I understand this. Do you mean that one has to look at the categories at the bottom of an article to see what the article is about? I've never used it that way myself... | |||
:::; giving each article one single category | |||
:::: Why would you want to do that? The definition of a category is that it is a group of several articles that fit a certain subject (or category). A category with just a single article in it means it is redundant and the article should be moved to the parent category. | |||
:::;CategoryTree extension | |||
:::: We used to have this one, but its maintainer had to fix a bug (see [[FlightGear wiki:Village pump#Found bugs]] to make it work with the current version of MediaWiki. I just noticed there have been some updates to it lately, so I'll see if I can re-enable it now. | |||
:::; linking an article in a portal and its parents is duplication. | |||
:::: Often that's true, but there are exceptions. I originally designed the portals to guide people as quickly as possible to the article they're looking for. [[Portal:Developer]] for example should only list some of the most used aircraft articles. | |||
::: Looking forward to the final version of your "review". Always nice to have a fresh impression of our documentation! | |||
