Thread:Helping with categories (1)

Hi Balqis,

When I first joined the categories workgroup, and when I first started to edit/create resources on WE, I spent a lot of time studying policies and procedures for how to do things. I studied policies and procedures available on WE, but also on wikipedia and wikiversity (as well as other wikis).

When working in categories, it is useful to understand how categories work. I've been working to improve the WE Help:Category page. This may be a good first page for study.

The WE guidelines for categorization is still in draft mode. I suggest also studying wikipedia's guidelines for categorization, as this is a resource for our own work.

Another aspect less related to categories, but useful in understanding the possibilities in structuring our wiki pages is to study guidelines related to style. For example


 * WE's proposed style guidelines
 * Wikipedia's manual of style

Hope these help. Let me know your thoughts on ideas for how to proceed with the category work.

Best, Alison
