schools & categories

Categories are tricky, especially when there's not a whole lot of content to need categorization. I'll see if I can make some sense of it. Thanks for the heads up. --Dystopos 16:34, 28 April 2006 (PDT)

OK, I made List of School Systems and Homewood School System both feed into Category:School systems, which is then a subcategory of Category:Schools. --Dystopos 16:39, 28 April 2006 (PDT)

Stubs

  • Nice addition. I think we could start off with major categories and work down as necessary. It makes sense, I think, to have biography stubs as a separate category. Probably schools too. Whatever we have a lot of I guess. Welcome back. --Dystopos 19:04, 30 May 2006 (PDT)

Style

This is a minor request, and a matter of preference, but I prefer not to use periods at the end of abbreviations unless the abbreviated letters are missing from the end of the word. I made a note of it at Bhamwiki:Style a while ago when I noticed I was doing it. Feel absolutely free to use your own judgment, but in my opinion it won't be necessary to patrol every article for consistency with either preference. --Dystopos 13:55, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

portal

  • I'm taking a stab at preparing a "portal" on sustainability topics for a Catalyst4Birmingham task force to use. You can see my progress at BhamWiki:Sustainability. For our own purposes, I'm planning to someday set up similar portals for history, sports, business, music, etc. -- Right now, though, there are a couple of things I don't know how to fix and I wondered if you could help. I've used Wikipedia's Portal:Earth sciences] as a model. (With the difference that I've decided to use the BhamWiki: namespace for our portals). The first difference I see is that WP's portal puts the included text into the box where mine drops it below. The second difference is that the "edit" links in the WP header bars actually take you somewhere, where our don't. And third, the subpages in the WP portal have links back to the main portal, where mine doesn't. -- Any thoughts? --Dystopos 16:43, 10 October 2006 (PDT)
