Thread:Categorisation for DEHub (1)

Hi all,

Great project. I look forward to your contributions to WE.

The categories workgroup is working on creating a more effective category structure for WE. Although the workgroup is still in its formation stage, one guideline that we are discussing (here) and trying out is that all pages that are part of one project or resource be categorized together. Then that category can be assigned as a sub-category to other categories, creating a connecting structure to help users find resources.

For example you could create a category called "Distance education hub" (or something more specific, e.g., if you are thinking this is a clearly Australian resource) and then code that category on all of the pages in the project. One way to do this is to code the category onto the project's navigator template (so every page that includes the navigator, includes the category).

The next step is to think about what categories DEHub belongs to -- maybe Category:Australia and Category:Distance Education and feel free to create new categories (see current existing categories at Special:Categories for a list of what exists already). To create these connections, just add the code for these categories to the category page for the specific project.

I'm happy to help with the codes and set up of the categories, if you are interested.
