[edit] Categorization Notes
Although this page is in my 'private' space, if anybody lands here and has something to say, please feel free to do so!
Pages where Special:Categories and structure of the OLPCWiki: structure is being discussed/referenced:
| Rank | Page | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| dead | Page Categories | has been tagged for Category:Pages for deletion... |
| high | Talk:Page Categories | nice small top level hierarchy proposal |
| medium | User talk:Sj#Hey | interesting idea about 'parceling' pages... would that be 'sub-pages'? is it doable? |
| low | OLPCWiki:Community Portal & #To Do List | Requesting work to be done on the subject... |
| high | OLPCWiki talk:Community Portal | Plenty of feedback and ideas |
| high | User talk:Aburton | The section on < includeonly > considered harmless is food for thought |
| medium | Talk:Sharing your content with OLPC#Language vs Language | Hints to an interesting issue when i18n efforts will take off: source language vs target language |
| medium | Talk:Hyperlinked hub | Proposed subject categorization (for content) |
| medium | User talk:Nitpicker#re: pre-literate | Categorization based on 'education level' |
| high | Educational content ideas/language learning#Strategies for Language learning | Citation and enumeration of strategies used for language learning... probably some material could be categorized based on those (or similar) axis |
| medium | Talk:OS images#Reorganizing "Build images" pages | Proposes some criteria for splitting up the page - maybe its ideas are reusable? |
| medium | Subjects | A categorization for content - how international or global is it really? Mainly western? |
| medium | OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/Activities/Activity Bundles#Activity Tags | To top things off, as the project crystalizes, categories will have to deal with Activities |
| high | User:Sj/Log/Idea pooling | Summary of ideas among users on how to gear the pooling of ideas... maybe too complex? and a bit outside of my scope? |
| reference | Wiki | Sort of general depot for some issues related to the wiki |
| high | Talk:Educators#Improving site organization - Content contribution storyboarding? | Another take at the broad layout / categories for the site |
[edit] Other things
User:Aburton was really active, particularly working on Special:Categories... but hasn't been around since 2006-08-21 15:39:34... any ideas why?
[edit] Wishlist & Tests
Would be cool to have Interwiki linking. I've been trying several things, but can't get it to work.
Apparently, this would be a link to wikipedia's article on Argentina, but no. I've tried Argentina, Wikipedia:Argentina, Argentina, this and others, but to no avail... I think that there's quite a bit of functionality in this wiki that hasn't been activated... #if: doesn't work either...
Another option is that I can't make it work! ;)
For reference, here the WikiMedia's current interwiki map and sample map
Editing a wiki is a fairly simple thing to do; but to do it right, a bit of documentation is required:
- Wikipedia's Help and Contents editing on Magic words and Diff
- Parser Functions
- MediaWiki and its Manual Contents and Extensions
