Some important guidelines on categories
# Stick to standard names. There is a category called 'Digital Fabrication', so use that; doon't go creating a category called 'Flexible Industry' or something.
# Use straightforward names rather than jargon or acronyms
# Don't create new categories that don't fit into the structure of the wiki as a whole. This wiki is a mess because hundreds of people have gone around creating pages like 'Wood Pellet Burner' and putting that in a category called 'Wood Pellet Burner'; this just leads to hundreds of dispersed, unconnected scraps of information. There are currently too many categories - something like 333 categories for about 1700 pages. There should be 100 at most, and these should have a coherent nested structure.
 
Here is a draft outline for categories and sub-categories to be used:
 
*Toolset
 
**Materials
***Bioplastics
 
**Digital Fabrication
 
**Food
***Food storage and processing
***Animals
***Cooking
 
**Habitat
***Construction
****CEB Press
****Sawmill
***Home fittings
 
**Energy
***Biofuels
***Solar power
****Solar village
****Solar turbine
 
**Water
 
*People
 
*Organizations
**Resilient Communities
***Factor e Farm
 
*The Open Ecology Project
**Previous events
**Collaborators
**PR materials
 
*Related thought
 
NOTE: It might be best to have these as headers, so that at the top of every page you can see what category and sub-category you're in. First thing is to cut down the number of categories to a manageable size; then we can create headers showing the path of each one. When that's done, the wiki will be very coherent and nice.
 
= Pictures, pictures, pictures! =
Please add pictures to as many pages as possible. It doesn't matter if they don't provide extra information; they just make the page nicer to look at.
 
= Pages needed =
* Using Templates
**Very important. Please document at [[Instructions]]
* Available Templates
 
= Refactoring needed =
 
Are [[current priorities]] and this [[Wiki wish list]] the only pages that list "How you can help" ?
 
= MediaWiki extensions needed =
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree CategoryTree] allows the category structure to be seen in outline form
 
= Clean-up needed =
* various spam pages need to be removed: "buy Cialis..." etc.
* There are also MANY pages in Chinese characters, probably spam also.
 
-----
* I looked at http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Special:AllPages and then http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E5%A9%9A%E5%BA%86%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8&to=%E9%9F%A9%E5%9B%BD%E5%8C%96%E5%A6%86%E5%93%81%E5%93%81%E7%89%8C%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8 which gives us all Chinese pages.
* I looked at some of them at random, and found lots of urls that appear to be bogus.  If a Chinese speaking person would have contributed they would have said something in English.  So I think it's safe just to delete them!
* I then looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_delete_a_page
* Finally, I tagged the first 3 pages in Chinese with ''bracket-bracket delete verticalbar reason=spam bracket-bracket''.
 
'''Suggestion to admins:''' Please, see if it's easy for you to delete those tagged pages.  If that's the case, then we non-admins can help by tagging many pages for you to delete all at once.

= Templates needed =
* A more compact Site header template, showing just the packages, with a tooltip for each package showing the projects within the package
** Not sure if this can be done without [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Tooltip an extension]
** But the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pipe_trick Pipe trick] might help
** July 16: Pipe trick plus redirection will work, no need for tooltip extension
*** See [[Template:Site Header 2]] and [[Template:ProjectHdr Habitat]] for examples
