- This article lists ideas for future Categories-Tree maintenance, strategy for implementation, as well as pertinent notes for each idea, so that they do not get "lost" in the growing discussion in the forums.
- The Categories-Tree article illustrates current and proposed categories-tree structure.
- Discussions are in the Wiki forum, and include the following thread(s):
- This list was last updated with ideas up to and including those in this discussion post:
Contents
- 1 Ideas for Categories
- 1.1 Idea: New Category "Wiki Frequencies"
- 1.2 Idea: New Category "Ground Transportation"
- 1.3 Idea: Standardize Category Names To Match Real-World Names
- 1.4 Idea: Create Additional Specific Aviation Categories
- 1.5 Idea: Consolidating Overlapping Categories
- 1.6 Idea: Consolidate or Migrate Categories that have all frequencies
- 2 Ideas for Templates
- 3 Ideas for Articles
Ideas for Categories
Idea: New Category "Wiki Frequencies"
- Idea: Build large "Wiki Frequencies" category parallel to existing "Collaboration" category.
- Status: In-progress
Idea: New Category "Ground Transportation"
- Idea: "Ground Transportation" instead of just "Transportation"?
- Status: Pending
Idea: Standardize Category Names To Match Real-World Names
Idea: "Aircraft Monitoring Frequencies" category
- Status: Cancelled/Withdrawn
Idea: Rename "Aircraft Monitoring" to "Aviation"
- Status: Still being discussed
Idea: Eliminate "MilCom" Category
- Status: Still being discussed
Idea: Create Additional Specific Aviation Categories
- Idea: Consider categories for "...airline company frequencies, airline ramp communication systems, ATC frequencies, and airport operations frequencies"
- Status: Pending
Idea: Consolidating Overlapping Categories
- Idea: "We might also look into consolidation where it makes sense to do so."
- Status: Still being discussed
Idea: Consolidate or Migrate Categories that have all frequencies
- Idea: Categories that have children as frequency categories might be unnecessarily redundant if everything in that parent category has frequencies in the first place
- [Discussion Link]
- Status: new idea not yet in the discussion forum.
Ideas for Templates
Idea: "Frequencies" Template
- Idea: Create a template to standardize the narrative at the top of the "...Frequencies" category pages.
- Discussion Link
- Template Link: Template:FreqWiki
- Status: Created and being implemented
Idea: Template between Frequency articles and State articles
- Idea: "another template can be used to send the <statename> frequency articles to their collaboration state name"
- Discussion Link
- Template Link: ...
- Status: Pending
Idea:Use standardized template for displaying trunked frequencies
- Idea: Where neither the extensions nor the trunking infobox template is being used, if a trunk system is being defined in the article with frequencies, use the Motofreq and ELTRfreq templates. These display the frequencies in a table similar to what is currently in the database
- Status: The templates already exist, and will be installed where appropriate
Ideas for Articles
Idea: Article: Software that can copy-paste data
- Idea: "...article to identify which applications have the ability to copy the frequency data into their application editor"
- Idea: "an article to document the applications that can copy/paste data from the wiki"
- Status: In Progress. The article already exists, but documentation needs to be added to show which BuTel products could actually copy data from the wiki (or if they all can)
Idea: Article to Explain Large Categories
- Idea: "article off the collaboration page for the various broader categories"
- Status: Pending
Idea: List Amateur Radio Networks
- Note: Could be treated as a new category, or built as an article.
- Idea: "listing amateur radio networks in the Wiki"
- Status: Pending
Idea: Create separate articles for RID/UID details
- Idea: "We do have a number of RID/UID lists posted on articles that are just for a trunked system - so perhaps it would be a good idea to split them off onto their own article. It would certainly allow for future growth."
- Status: Still being discussed
