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Archiving sets of items under an archived page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 put them in subsections of their category parent page. For example, "Cook All the Things" contains each recipe under different headings for the courses, rather than just listing the names of all the recipes.

This becomes harder when things need to be included in more and more subcategories. In that case, adding each of them as categories will automatically add it to those category pages, so they're all easy to find.

What's the best default? Will members always include their new entry into the appropriate list on the parent category? Or 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 each category. Following this example with your date in place:

{{DEFAULTSORT:*1999-12-31}}

This would sort it under the heading "*" with proper date sorting.
