Ideas

Archiving sets of items under an archived page

We should archive every old page, even if they're in an archived list and are not linked anywhere else, because someone could link them in a separate document later.

Separate pages and category pages

Does it matter whether we redirect from a given page to its category, and include all content there? If we do, we can post what we want on that page and there'll automatically be a list of all category items at the bottom.

Handling subcategories of categorized items

The easiest way to manage individual items is to broadly subcategorize them in subsections of their category parent page. For example, "Cook All the Things" contains each recipe under different course headings.

This doesn't work as well when things need to be included in two or more subcategories. In that case, adding each individual item to all of its subcategories will automatically add it to the subcategory page, so that they're all easy to find.

What's the best default? Can we trust members to always include their new entry into the appropriate list on the parent category? On the other hand, can we expect them to know the differences between all subcategories and apply all the right ones?

Events

A wiki page might be for one event, or could be about a recurring event.

For a single event, either the title should include the ISO 8601 date at the beginning, or the page should include a tag which rewrites how it's categorized in Category:Events, as follows:

[[Category:Events|ISO8601 date followed by usual title]]

This way isn't as easy, because that extra code must be recopied for each category it's placed in (for example, once it's archived).
