My /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 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?

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 functionallity 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
