the page that I'm thinking of, it was some small little page that had about 4 useless links. The articles can be found in the Applications category.
You can also find them on "all pages" list, so why have categories at all?
;-(
Previously you could list all pages (or list of applications) which had some. thing to do with KDE - I don't see how that is possible now after your category removal and page deletion race.
Ok yes, I see a point there. I'm not going to be doing much more editing this weekend, but it will be fixed so you don't have to worry.
What we could do is maybe have categories that are meant as tags and not necessarily part of that hierarchy idea. This way we can have all pages related to x or all pages related to y. So maybe we can recreate this KDE category by means of a category called KDE-tag. Then all categories under of this type can be under Tags. Then you can view all pages that pertain to certain tags like KDE-tag, GNOME-tag, Wiki-tag, 10.3-tag,10.2-tag, etc. So you can view all pages related to very broad topics.
I would consider not to create 'KDE-tag', but to leave 'KDE' alone when it is used as tag category, it is anyway in Tags category, and also add suffix for subcategories of KDE category: - KDE_Applications, for all applications written for KDE that are not part of core desktop and then subcategories (tree) like in Root Category Tree. - KDE_Desktop, for the core; configuration programs, services etc. - KDE_Meetings This way we would have: KDE -- KDE_Desktop -- KDE_Applications -- KDE_Meetings -- KDE_Development GNOME -- GNOME_Desktop -- GNOME_Applications -- GNOME_Meetings -- GNOME_Development and cross references in Applications -- KDE_Applications -- GNOME_Applications -- Other_GUI_Applications Community -- Meetings -- KDE_Meetings -- GNOME_Meetings -- Project_Meetings Development -- KDE_Development -- GNOME_Development -- Other_GUI_Applications To get one article about KDE listed in the tree it should have either of KDE_Desktop, KDE_Applications, KDE_Meetings, KDE_Development and each of those categories should be listed in KDE category. Problem with Mediawiki software is that it has no way to tell for instance: Category:Application:KDE:Internet or any permutation of it and article will be filled in proper place in the tree.
Just an idea.
Either way, this functionality will be manifested in someway. I don't have much more time this weekend to discuss or work on it. Please don't worry, I apologize for the confusion and I'll work slower and discuss more from this point on. Promise!
Just don't give up. I guess, it is not that easy, as there is some kind of system in place, and we have to go from that to the better one, that you initiated, without much hickups. -- Regards, Rajko.
