Tolkien Gateway > Council > Index namespace
Discussion
Tolkien Gateway has recently seen a considerable increase in the number of list articles that we have. The intention is to provide a clear user generated list rather than rely on the unreliable and messy automated system of the software. An 'Index:' namespace would:
- Make it easier for readers to navigate, the category structure is confusing and I bet hardly any visitors use it;
- Move our current lists out of the main namespace where they are currently counts as articles - they are not articles;
- Make the name of lists more professional, i.e. rather than 'List of Places Names' it'd be 'Index:Locations';
- No doubt more reasons which I can't think of right now.
What do you think? -- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 13:14, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Is there a wiki which uses this system? It would be interesting to see how it works in practice. --Morgan 13:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed, I don't think it has been used by other wikis. Another advantage is that we might be able to implement it into a new skin to increase usability. -- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 13:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- What would happen to my (personal) favourite lists such as Writings by J.R.R. Tolkien, etc? --Morgan 13:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Index:Writings by J.R.R. Tolkien? -- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 14:04, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Sounds Good! --Amroth 19:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- It sounds consensual, shall we go for it? -- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 14:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- As we voted on this a week ago we could probably say it's passed.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 17:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
