[html4all.org] Wiki Categories

[Robert Burns]

Hello everyone,

Being back on Wikimedia is quite nice. I hadn't realized how much the  
W3C wiki was holding me back. I notice that some HTML is forbidden  
(which is probably fine), but at least it supports regular table  
syntax so we can make accessible and richer semantic tables.

I setup some proposed categories on my own user page on the wiki[1].  
For one thing this will help navigating our wiki content. For  
another, it helps think about what content we want and need. I also  
created an umbrella category called "Categories"[2]. This way,, as we  
create categories we can make sure to add the category "Categories"  
and we'll the wikimedia software will maintain a complete  
hierarchical index off topics/categories. This capability may be  
built-in to the wikimedia software already, but I'm not aware of it  
(the capability to view a listing of all categories that is).

It occurred to me that we may have a problem when WhatWG discovers  
our wiki and want to edit it to "correct" our misconceptions. We  
might want to think  about how we should deal with that.

Take care,
Rob
