Primary question is, should we move articles like "OpenSUSE mailing list netiquette" to more appropriate place like namespace [1] OpenSUSE: with new title "OpenSUSE:Mailing list netiquette" and with current article left as redirect to new location, as netiquette is linked from many places?
When we talk about cleaning wiki, anything that is meta/community information about openSUSE should use existing namespace openSUSE, not the Main one as it is now.
You linked to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespace , which says that namespaces can be useful to separate a wiki's "public" content from the "maintenance" part of the wiki itself. That distinction is worth keeping. I think the "openSUSE" namespace should be instead a category... something like "Category:Community" or "Category: Community guidelines", or something like that. You know... within the openSUSE wiki, you don't need to label something as explicitly belonging to openSUSE; if it is in *that* wiki, it obviously relates to openSUSE! :) I guess what I'm trying to say is that community-related content is not really the "meta" part of the wiki; it's not administration stuff for the wiki editors, but rather it is actual, public content that we want to be easily visible.
I would also propose creation of new namespaces like Development, Portal, News, Sandbox, etc. with links to entry pages in Main namespace, or only entry pages in Main namespace.
I guess I prefer categories for most of those. Maybe "Portal" is okay as a namespace, but that's just to follow Mediawiki's conventions. Federico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
