<p>Stéphane Thibault: New section: Category Tree</p> <hr /> <div>== a bit of history ==<br /> <br /> Hey James -- found a bit of this wiki's history when going through spammed/blanked pages in order to get rid of them: [http://www.tei-c.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Catalog&amp;action=history just have a look] :-) <br /> <br /> I think you could still view it after deletion, but I'm leaving it undeleted for now, just in case the current software is even less current than we think ;-)<br /> <br /> Cheers, Piotr<br /> <br /> == captcha ==<br /> <br /> Hi James, great job moving and upgrading the wiki! Now we need the captcha system turned on, it seems (see recent changes).<br /> <br /> Cheers,<br /> <br /> Piotr<br /> <br /> * Re: ConfirmEdit and ReCaptcha: our most recent bots can apparently avoid the former [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:ConfirmEdit#Suggestion:_Captcha_for_new_IPs]. I'd give the latter a try, because of its (advertised) anti-OCR strength. [[User:Piotr Banski|Piotr]] 04:06, 16 January 2008 (EST)<br /> * And one more thing: I'd rather not use it for all edits, cause that may scare people away, and we're not that popular... yet ;-)<br /> <br /> == Category Tree ==<br /> <br /> Dear Dr Cummings,<br /> <br /> My name is [[User:Stéphane Thibault|Stéphane Thibault]], Ph.D. candidate in Religious Studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal (Canada). I'm also a MediaWiki webmaster and when I visited this site, I noticed a few uncategorized categories so I naturally tried to add them to what I though was the root of this website.<br /> <br /> I almost immediately received a message from [[User:Piotr Banski|Piotr Banski]] telling me that the [[:Category:TEI Wiki|TEI Wiki category]] was not the root and that he didn't believe there was any need for a such a category. After exchanging a few messages, I showed him that the main reason why I use a root category is that I had feedback from users on one of my sites finding it difficult to navigate properly through a wiki website. Since I already had a root category, I simply added the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree CategoryTree extension] and then went on to also add a &quot; browse &quot; link to the sidebar linking to that root category. You can check out the results '''[http://wikidbikers.com/wiki/Category:Root here]'''.<br /> <br /> I definitely think it improved the website as well as user experience, and at the same time made it so much easier to categorize pages properly. At a glance, I can access the root category and click on the [+] button until I find the most appropriate subcategory for any new article.<br /> <br /> Piotr suggested that I bring this up with you, which is the reason why I am writing this message. It is of course only a suggestion but since I sincerely believe that this is a good wiki practice, I'm naturally spreading the word around and will be more than willing to help out should I be of any assistance.<br /> <br /> Yours,&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[User:Stéphane Thibault|Stéphane Thibault]] 13:24, 11 April 2008 (EDT)</div>

[[:Category:TEI Wiki]] is not the root category. It's a category for TEI Wiki matters. There is no single root here (and no need for one, I'd venture). Best, [[User:Piotr Banski|Piotr]] 12:11, 11 April 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Hi again. [[TEIWiki:IdleTalk#Category_trees|Here's the place]] where the category structure is open for discussion. Have a look at it, please and feel welcome to join in. I'd say, if you really think we need a single root category, maybe a new one would be better. Cheers, [[User:Piotr Banski|Piotr]] 12:21, 11 April 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :I've been a wiki user for a while and watched the introduction of that extension and you are right, it's useful. Was thinking of a root category here, but that was in the old days when the wiki software here was too ancient to try anything fancy, and setting up the root just for the sake of it being there struck me as possibly being my own bias (dealing with single-root trees every day, and they aren't necessarily XML trees), overmeticulousness, or whatever. And I didn't want to go too far, being new here myself. So I was ok with gathering all loose categories into those few basic ones, and linking them from the main page.<br /> :I don't see anything bad in trying something new, especially if there is a chance of it being useful/more user-friendly. So I'd say, go ahead. James Cummings is the person to contact about installing the extension.
