ToME WikiMassimilianoMarangio: Perhaps we can add categories and topics to the wiki pages, e.g. CategorySpoiler, CategoryDocumentation, etc.
I've created the CategorySpoiler for testing purposes. A new spoily page can be marked with the CategorySpoiler tag by selecting this category in the box Make this page belong to category ... (see also CategoryCategory). All pages tagged in this way are then listed in the CategorySpoiler page.
MayLith: CategorySpoiler and CategoryDocumentation both sound like good ideas. Can'o'worms time: How about CategoryStrategy (or for that matter, CategoryBug)?
MassimilianoMarangio: What about CategoryBugList? I think it is better than CategoryBug, since all bugs of ToME, of a module, etc. should already be in a list.
NeilStevens: I think our wiki has to be more structured than most, so categories won't work. We need two of many pages, so we'll still need a hierarchy, making the categories redundant and error-prone to maintain.
MayLith: One thing that has concerned me from the start is just that: the structure of this wiki. For example, I started a Spoilers structure, then started on Documentation... but in the meantime, Spoilers has started to fill up and mutate. I had hoped for a duplicate structure (where applicable) between Doc and Spoilers, but I guess that's not going to happen.
What are the pros and cons of categories? My feeble understanding is that you can do a search that brings up everything in a category. Why does extra structure mean categories won't work? Sorry, this is all new to me.
MassimilianoMarangio: What Neil meant was that we already have a tree hierarchy for Spoiler and Documentation pages. All pages in this structure should be marked with CategorySpoiler and CategoryDocumentation, respectively, duplicating the structure and increasing the effort to mantain the pages without another useful effect. Such a tag is only useful to mark pages outside the hierarchy, e.g. all threads in GeneralDiscussion marked as Spoilers. Another use is to collect all pages belonging to one (relative small) topic e.g. alchemy or mindcraft.
NeilStevens: Right. Feel free to add new categories for specialty topics. Home pages are a good example of this. Adding categories for things we already have a hierarchy for just leads to bad side-effects, though. Example: You can't use a hypothetical CategorySpoiler for searches because not all the spoiler hierarchy will be marked, plus it'll be so ridiculously long and unsorted besides.
So really, what is the point of CategorySpoiler?
MayLith: None, apparently.
MassimilianoMarangio: Agreed. This means no documentation, spoilers and bugs categories.
