:I think we probably need a single person (oops: that would be you... ''sucker!'' You have only yourself to blame!) to head-up work on structure, accessibility, cross-indexing and the like. We have made a big step forward with Categories, giving us the three tools you mention: Structure, Search and Categories... ''now'' let's talk '''''namespaces!''''' | :I think we probably need a single person (oops: that would be you... ''sucker!''

::Given that [[User:Hellboy1975|Matt]] has proclaimed himself 'category enforcer' - then I think he could lead the overall structure on the wiki ;) --[[User:193.89.55.129|193.89.55.129]] 11:43, 5 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:Actually, namespaces require modification of the LocalSettings.php file on the server I think, so adding them is non-trivial (i.e. down to somebody with OS access to the server: Jacob, Johan or Sture, etc.) and thus they are a blunter and less flexible tool than Categories, but worth thinking about, in a background sort of way. I have two other MediaWikis set up that I can play/practice on (but they are hosted on ''real'' operating systems [[Image:Smile.gif]]), and if you are going to do that stuff I suggest you set one up for yourself, if you have not already - the software is a snap to set up, at least on Linux. Actually, several of us might consider doing that just to take periodic back-up copies of VdfWiki onto... just a thought. | :Actually, namespaces require modification of the LocalSettings.php file on the server I think, so adding them is non-trivial (i.e. down to somebody with OS access to the server: Jacob, Johan or Sture, etc.) and thus they are a blunter and less flexible tool than Categories, but worth thinking about, in a background sort of way.

::Good idea to do multiple backups. Sture and I have been talking about uploading the content to 'somebody's ftp server - to have it duplicated. is that 'somebody' you , Mike? --[[User:193.89.55.129|193.89.55.129]] 11:43, 5 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:Something to watch for (and maybe warn against): I had occasion last night to move an article ([[Add Workspace Parameter]]) by [[User:Peter Brooks|Peter Brooks]] which he had put on the [[:Category:How To]] page; I moved it off onto its own page, but it is an easy mistake to make: just go to a Category and start editing. --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 11:01, 5 December 2007 (CET) | :Something to watch for (and maybe warn against): I had occasion last night to move an article ([[Add Workspace Parameter]]) by [[User:Peter Brooks|Peter Brooks]] which he had put on the [[:Category:How To]] page; I moved it off onto its own page, but it is an easy mistake to make: just go to a Category and start editing. --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 11:01, 5 December 2007 (CET) | ||
