Talk:To do
CATEGORIES
(01-JUL-05) One thing I'd like to consider is categories, but I'd like to lay out a basic structure before we actually started sorting.
(It'll also really help with the 'To do' stuff, as we can just add or remove a category tag from a page as it's worked on, instead of having to maintain a wiki page for them.)
For example, for a restaurant in Old Town, the categories would read:
Perplex City | Old Town | Fleet Sreet (or whatever) | Restaurants
Possible categories:
- People & Organizations
- Perplex City Academy
- Seven fFounders
- Government
- Police
- City Council
- Athletics
- Newspaper
- Reconstructionists
- Perplex City Academy
- Places
- Earth
- Perplex City
- all subdivisions
- restaurants, clubs, etc
- Things
- Puzzles
- solved
- unsolved
- Puzzle Cards
- organized by color, type, etc.
- Webpages
These seem to cover it generally, so please add anything you feel has been left out.

After careful thought, I think categories are going to wind up being concepts, more than groups of persons places and things. fFor instance, One category would link together everything associated with the early syzygy errorlogs. The gatehouse shoe gals, the logs, the people referenced, everything which is referenced by those logs. Then another Category might be everything PCAG related. athletes, announcements, websites, all this. It might consist largely of people, sure. But I think you can see where I'm going. Instead of large abstractions of sections, we should smaller more identifiable concepts as categories. This is not to say we should not continue to examine the use of abstractions. categories of people, and of places, and of things are useful. But probably not where we should divert our efforts.
- Category:Academy
- Or, we can subdivide:
- Category:Academy People
- Category:Academy Places
- Category:Syzygy Errorlogs
- Category:Subway
- Category:PCAG
- Category:Sentinel
- Category:Cubism
- [[:Category:]]
- [[:Category:]]
- [[:Category:]]
- [[:Category:]]
I was just noticing as i come up with this, it's more like a dewey decimal system, kinda. Whatever works.
