Revision as of 12:38, 27 October 2015
- 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: Implement Gateway Categories
- 1.2 Idea: Consider Better/More-Specific Category Names
- 1.3 Idea: Change the Name "Collaboration" to "Geographic" (or something similar)
- 1.4 Idea: Separate hybrid categories to match themes
- 1.5 Idea: Rename technology-categories to generic technology-name
- 1.6 Idea: (New Idea Title)
- 2 Ideas for Templates
- 3 Ideas for Articles
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:

Idea: Consider Better/More-Specific Category Names
- Idea: Consider Better/More Specific Category Names for
Category:Propagation_Links
Category:Broadcasting- (New Idea Forum Link for related Discussion)
- Status: (New Idea Status: Pending, Being Discussed, In-Progress, Complete, Cancelled, etc.)
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.
- (New Idea Forum Link for related Discussion)
- 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?

Idea: (New Idea Title)

Ideas for Templates
Idea: (New Idea Title)
- Idea: (New Idea Description)
- (New Idea Forum Link for related Discussion)
- Status: (New Idea Status: Pending, Being Discussed, In-Progress, Complete, Cancelled, etc.)
Ideas for Articles
Idea: (New Idea Title)
- Idea: (New Idea Description)
- (New Idea Forum Link for related Discussion)
- 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
