Ideas for Categories
Idea: Implement Gateway Categories
- Idea: Multiple disconnected, or parent-less, or stove-piped, categories make navigation across the Wiki difficult/impossible, because they act as a branch severed from the category-tree. To prevent this, all categories should be under a Gateway category.
- Example of suggested-implementation of gateway-categories shown on: Categories-Tree
- Example of stove-piped categories:

- Status: (New Idea Status: Pending, Being Discussed, In-Progress, Complete, Cancelled, etc.)
Idea: Use Natural Names/Descriptions Not Artificial Ones
- Idea: Just as the MilCom category was replaced by Branch-specific categories, and as the seven US-Regional Categories were replaced with state-categories, the Category:Province Data should be replaced with Category:Canada.
- Status: Done
Idea: Change the Name "Collaboration" to "Geographic" (or something similar)
- Idea: The entire Wiki is a community-maintained collaboration environment. The Collaboration Category has become functionally a Geographic category that mirrors the structure of continents, countries, states, counties, etc. just like the RRDB. The name "Collaboration" seems to be inherently redundant with the entire Wiki's purpose, and too broad for the current purpose of the category.

- Status: Pending
Idea: Separate hybrid categories to match themes
- Idea: Consider replacing Category:Alinco Radios with Category:Alinco Receivers
Could also use Category:Alinco Transceivers if needed later. This would match the Equipment: Receivers example shown on Categories-Tree- (New Idea Forum Link for related Discussion)
- Status: Pending
Idea: Rename technology-categories to generic technology-name
- Idea 1: Should/Can we rename "MOTOTRBO" categories to be "DMR" categories or "DMR MOTOTRBO"?
- Idea 2: Should/Can we rename "NXDN NEXEDGE" categories to be "NXDN" categories or to be "NXDN NEXEDGE ICAS" categories?

- Status: (New Idea Status: Pending, Being Discussed, In-Progress, Complete, Cancelled, etc.)
Idea: Put Theme categories under Gateway Special Topics
- Idea: The top-category for each theme should be under Special Topics, instead of being lost in the Collaboration Category.

Idea: (New Idea Title)

- Status: (New Idea Status: Pending, Being Discussed, In-Progress, Complete, Cancelled, etc.)
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: 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
