Talk:Categories

From dKosopedia

Please, please, PLEASE, eliminate the WikiWords entirely from the scheme of categories. Among other problems (like totally foiling attempts to search for phrases with proper spaces between them) they encourage capitalizing non-proper nouns which is already enough of a problem here. And before you finalize these, consider, there is a very high impact and inertia created by categories, it's very much a long term commitment. So maybe a lot fewer is appropriate.

Looking at other political wikis, one finds very short lists of categories.

At openpolitics.ca they use only about six, and each one describes a very operational distinction, like "ignore this page please, we may get rid of it and it probably isn't relevant to what you care about" (like a nice way to delete things slowly) or "profile of a person or group or agency or corporation" or "event description that will happen at a certain time or has happened already". That's probably not a bad thing, to have so few...

Replaced with Tags?

Looks like this has been replaced by the Tags, right? Do we need this page anymore? Chadlupkes 13:03, 31 July 2006 (PDT)
