m Desired Layout: Removed, as after testing it out locally and giving it lots of thought, the Open-Directory style can be information overload for new users.

Done with all the categorization for now. There's probably more out there to be found, but take a look at "recent changes" and you'll see why I'm taking a break for now. I might dig through more later and see what else could use new/updated categories. - [[User:Felix riggs|Felix riggs]] 09:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

=== Desired Layout ===
The [[Wiki Structure]] page that details the category structure that we should follow appears to be out of date (something easly corrected) but another issue comes to mind.  What style of category listings are we going to use?
Are we to use a folder style structure, where articles can only be long to one category (something that seems to be done a fair amount) or are we going to use the Open-Directory style, where all entities exist in the general levels all the way down to their specific.  I'll provide an example of both:
Folder Style::
* [Animals]
** [Dogs]
*** Spot
** [Cats]
*** Felix
Open-Directory Style::
* [Animals]
** Spot
** Felix
** [Dogs]
*** Spot
** [Cats]
*** Felix
Either way is understandable to both novice wiki users as well as old hats, however, I tend to personally like the Open-Directory style as you only need to go to a major category and browse the entries/subcategories to get a feel for what's contained in a name-space.  However if you want to refine what you're looking at, this too is available.
The bottom line is that the Open-Directory structure is the most flexible and gives you the best of both organizational worlds in my opinion. -[[User:Haeric|Haeric]] 04:43, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
